Before I went to Paris, I thought the Eiffel Tower was just ugly.
I still think it’s ugly, but now I know it also has a quite impressive physical presence when you’re basically standing right under it that doesn’t really come through in pictures. I still wouldn’t want to live near it, though.
I can see how it could be seen as ugly, I mean it is mostly metal beams, but I like to think that some of it’s beauty comes from what it represents and it’s history
It’s crazy to think that Japanese culture has become so globally popular even the French have acquiesced to it and made the Eiffel Tower the spitting image of the Tokyo Tower.
