I like it. It's stunning actually. My only regret is that I will probably never get to NY to see it and the other fabulous things that NY has to offer. I never saw the WTC in person, but to this day, when I see movies or TV reruns with the towers, I mourn them and all the people lost that day.

I did. Thing is, you really don't realize how much flex is built into really tall skyscrapers. They sway in the wind. Most of the time, you wouldn't notice that even if you were looking for it -- but in the WTC, if you were in the observation deck on the south tower, the north tower was close enough that you could see it getting closer and farther every few seconds.

I'm not prone to motion sickness. I've never been airsick, carsick or seasick. But that made me feel a little ill-at-ease.
