It's called the Lippo centre, originally called the Bond Centre, built in the late 80's, architect was Paul Rudolph.

I like that picture of 2 International Finance Centre at night, reminds me of the time I was in HK.

For the last time ye twats: I am Perfectly aware that Hong Kong, the former British Colony is now a part of CHINA, not Japan!

I know this, did not say that it was part of Japan, and I greatly Enjoyed James Clavell's books.

I like the car.
