 | |  |  | CN Tower: The World's Largest Phallic Symbol: the CN Tower | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
Okay, so it's pretty neat to be in the world's largest structure . . . for about a minute. Then the cold, clammy realisation hits you that you just paid money to be in a building. Personally, it was refuge from the bitter, cold rain outside for me. However, in retrospect, I should have just tucked into a shop or something.
The one real saving grace of the CN Tower is how freakishly Canadian it is. You can marvel at the solar power (CNT runs off of solar, with excess) display or the respectfully polite mural depicting the architecture-related triumphs of other nations. Also, there is a glass floor in one part of the tower. If you can get past the throngs of Japanese tourists and little kids, it's really fun to jump on. This girl was totally freaking her brothers and sisters out by screaming, "It could give way at any time!" and then pogo-ing it all over the floor.
The base of the CN Tower was the coolest thing I saw. There's lots of gigantic squirrels that hop around, and it's fun to watch bus loads of old folks go inside. Also, if you just have to say that you were in the world's largest structure, the gift shop is inside and accessible for free. I know it's a technicality, but it's better than feeling like an ass after shelling about over twenty bucks Canadian to stand in a building. Leave a Comment
