The Sky Pod at the CN Tower the highest part of the tallest building in the world you can visit

Today was definitely CN Tower day. After the nerves had disappeared from the night before I was still not looking forward to this and before long I would be having a few doubts again. We had a lazy morning in bed and spent the afternoon walking around new parts of town. There were several indoor markets open today and it would be a fantastic place to do your grocery shopping here every week. Before the heat got too much again though we all went to see War Of The Worlds at the cinema and it was a pretty good film. The special effects were very good but the storyline was abit boring. Eventually the time had come though for the trip up the tower and we were still hoping to see the sunset. Upon buying the tickets the options were to get the expensive ones and be at the top in 30 minutes or the cheaper ones and wait 90 minutes. Half an hour was just about all we had so we purchased those ones but some 2 hours later we had only just got in the lift. By now everything was dark and the views were not as impressive because of it. Mind you it was probably easier for me as when you are in the lift it doesn’t seem to bad and you don’t notice at first how high you are going. But partly thanks to a huge bunch of Chinese tourists who were pushing and shoving and eventually had to be calmed down we missed a great sunset from the tallest building in the world. Although all in all it was a fantastic experience and one way of conquering a certain fear for heights ( if not maybe a crazy way of conquering them ). Once back at the hostel though the night was brought to an abrupt end by the rudest, mouthyiest bitch of an English (private school/daddy paid for my trip) backpacker. Thinking it was me who was in her/her boyfriends room and promptly told me the hostel said I had to share Jill and Simons room. My reply was simple and short ‘BOLLOCKS’. After her then making out it was either me,simon or jill in her room even though she had booked a private room and I was in a dorm she realized she had made a mistake. No apologies though from her although her lard ass fat boyfriend just about mumbled one out. Eventually at 1am the fun died down and they moved them somewhere and a decent conversation could be had with an aussie guy who was in the room and was totally oblivious to what had gone on before. Then I managed to crash out around 2.30am.
