Photobucket

I just found a incredible set of these pics on Flikr, along with an article about the concept and sad demise of these structures.
Sanjhih is a small town on the north coast of Taiwan. It's near Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. In late 70's, a keeper of a rubber company worked out the prototype of the UFO house using his own factory. He wanted to build a contemporary style holiday resort.

Once in a while I see things like this and I remember my plans to get filthy rich and buy up unique properties like this so my friends and staff memembers from all over the world has a place to live and entertian guests and potential custmers/new employees.

Is the whole neighborhood/development for sale, and can I WiFi the whole place for the internet?
