How I did it: It may have just been the fact that I had to stand in a line for upwards of five hours, or the sun poisoning, or that I was near starvation, but it wasn't all that great to me. It was rather dull. The thing isn't even that big, you could go up inside it but it was just a bunch of disintegrating brown and green metal and wooden beams. The "museum" inside was pointless. It just seemed very overdone. 

Lessons & tips: Walking up the six billion steps is not even worth contemplating. You can get the same view from the fourth view of any building in the city, without the asthma attack.
