Urban Jungle

Here is a motorcycle car park from the center of town near the now infamous golden triangle that was recently auctioned off for 500 million dollars or something ridiculous (and that doesn't even buy the land, just the rights to use it...).

This area of land adjacent to Pham Ngu Lao has been a 'hung' project since I arrived three and a half years ago...I just find it staggering considering the value of the land must be so astronomical, and it is most recently being used as a 3000 dong a time motorbike park!

    The construction of that building was put on hold 11 years ago, in 1997 when the financial crisis hit Asia.

    Hi Jon,

    Thanks for the comment. I will try out your suggestions this weekend. It's a cool theme, don't you think? Needs a bit of tweaking, but that's the fun part:)
