Taipei 101 Observatory(part 1)

On the first day of a brand new month, December, my friends and I agreed on my suggestion to visit the Taipei 101 Observatory.

We bought entrance tickets at the fifth floor, then lined up waiting for our turn to get in the elevator, it was a exciting moment not only for us but also for the other vistors, most of them are from Japan. Although we couldn't understand what they were saying, we can judge by their facial expressions that they were very enthuiastic! We couldn't wait to get in the elevator from the very moment we bought our tickets, so when it's "finally" our turn after waiting for a few minutes, we streamed into the elevator as fast as we could.

When we stepped into the elevator, we saw that there were two LCD panels located on both sides facing us, bearing on it is the current height, location, elevator speed, and the timing of how fast the elevator travels to the 89th floor observatory. To our amazement, when the very moment the elevator door closes, the lights in the elevator went out, replacing it is a beautiful, colorful, imaginatory picture of the horoscope, sparkling in the darkness. As the elevator "shoots" up, the values on the LCD monitor rose quickly as well. We watched in awe as the elevator traveled at 38 km/hr. No sooner than 37 seconds, here we were, at the highest observatory in the world! (By the way, the speed of the elevator also broke the world record )
