Unfinished buildings (& mosque)
In many countries one does only have to pay taxes on owning a dwelling when it is finished. This is one reason why construction on so many buildings never seem to end. A second reason is people gradually extend their houses as they get more children or to host elderly. It's a cultural issue too, not just a tax issue. Regarding the unfinished mosque in Syria. It are the people (Muslims) who pay for the construction of the mosques in Syria because the government is not (at all) islamic. So things go gradually: when money comes available construction will continue. Note: There is a mosque in Halab (Aleppo) that was build by Lebanes (Christian) cassino owners during the war in Lebanon. When it was finished the Muslims paid whatever to get rid of the cassino even before it opened. It is now the most fancy looking mosque of the city. Ibo http://www.nomadtribe.net/

Tamara... you were less wrong than I was
Apparently I was way off. I forgot about Boeing. That's a shame because that particular building is only about 3 hours drive from where I'm at... and my step-mom worked there for a long time. And it appears it's not, in fact the largest. I guess millions and millions of flowers require more space than airplanes because the Netherlands wins the title. Anyway... you were more the winner than I was. So... if you are ever up in the U.S. Pacific Northwest... I'll buy you a drink.

We're both wrong
Me again Ok, I was wrong before. The Boeing factory is the largest in volume, not floor area. Some flower factory in the Netherlands is actually the largest. The Pentagon comes in 3rd. Check out this website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_largest_buildings Tamara

NICE FOOD REVIEW
Sean and Shannon Im glad you enjoyed your visit to Lima, an ugly city with excellent food and restaurants and a beautiful ocean view. I am Peruvian and I agree with your reviews. Pisco is a poor town like most of places in Peru lacks of more ambicious urban design because of the centralism government of Lima. However, Im sure you met the friendliest people outside of Lima. ps- To the peruvian reader who wrote CuZco with Z, the correct spelling is CUSCO with S, and also Pisco people don't behave as wolves, what is wrong with you?
