Well I am sitting here on the 36th floor of a hotel in Chicago with nothing to do, across from those famous twin tower apartment buildings. So I am looking at the sites with binoculars and....

I have one suggestion if you live in a high rise with other tall buildings around. Wear clothes at all times or close the curtains!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha...Tony bought binoculars in Hong Kong and spent rest of trip much like you, Chip, trying them out from the high floors of hotel rooms - he was delighted some people did not have clothes on

Never know when you might need em. Always be prepared, is my motto.

my feeling is if you're looking in windows that high up off the ground, you deserve whatever you get ;)

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~

I was looking at the boats in the river and just happened to raise my glasses to see what I saw. Now I didn't get the camera out with the long lense. Which says something for my character.
