WOW... wonder what a night there costs?? HHRRMMM

The first bedroom started out as a restaurant. I wonder what an earthquake, ship or just 10 years of pressure would do to the structures. I don't know that I'd sleep comfortably in these rooms.

I bet it would be a chore to keep the glass clean.

I guessed they have too much money and don't know what to do with it! They have towel hotel with low occupancy and yet planning to build more hotel. I don't get it!!!

I wonder how much of that reef they destroyed building that hotel.

I think David hit it right with the clean glass being the biggest problem. From an engineering standpoint, the forces (including earthquakes) are pretty straightforward. Assuming they do their homework, this isn't a challenging problem to solve... just an expensive one.

They're not exactly "greenies" - same place that has a ski slope in the middle of an oven........why anyone would want to vacation in the middle of an oven I have no idea.

You mean the same country that mucked up an entire coastline with the "designs w/ island building" manure? I wouldn't figure they could spell homework if you spotted them "homewor"

[Chad]

LOL. True.

[treesprite]

I'd be too scared to sleep under all that water. I don't even like driving through the Harbor tunnel.

The first picture reminds me of being in a large MRI tube. If only they could project a spacious image like that, maybe it wouldn't make people that uncomfortable during tests.

I would need to be heavily medicated with anti anxiety pills to get a little shut eye
