There's such a lack of nice skyscrapers in Europe 
. The only place I know that truly has some is Paris. Most European cities look "old", which I like. The thing about those Asian monstertowns is that they don't feel "cosy", they look so cold to me.

So it's nice to see city architecture that largely pre-dates them -- unlike cities that were typically ravaged by fires in the past 150 years.
Asia clearly has a lot more skyscrapers than Europe. But it depends on where you go. I found Beijing to unfortunately look "too" Chinese in its skyscrapers -- like the base of all their buildings were stamped with "Made in China" and looked like something purchased out of the discount store. Although that is definitely changing in the last five years.
Not so in Shanghai, which seems to have much more cosmopolitan skyscraper architecture.
Hong Kong never did it for me, but probably because every air conditioning unit will drip on you from 40 stories up as you walk along the sidewalks.
Which makes some of the more modern stuff in Japan, Malaysia, Korea, etc., pretty interesting.
