New Japanese Landmark?

Yes!
Currently, in the grand ole’ city of Tokyo, Japan, they are working on building the tallest building/landmark in the world called the ‘Tokyo Sky Tree’. By December of 2011, it’s suspose to be 634 meters! Whoah. At the moment, it’s only 530 feet though. It’s a pretty cool project, I must say. It’s going to have 3 main uses; The first use is for it to be a landmark that will attract even more tourists. Second off, it’s going to be this big antenna for broadcasting and stuff. Lastly, it’s going to be used for an ‘infrastructure for disasters’. Anyways, they started building this thing in 2008 and now it’s going to be finished. Pretty cool. I bet it cost a large sum of money. People can’t wait to ‘water’ the tree when it’s done being built. (As in climb it, take pictures of it, etc.)
