    Maybe you should change the caption of Guggenheim museum to Bilbao, Biscay, Basque Country, EU and then (spain) in brackets…If you ever visit that place you’ll understand that those people want to get independent from Spain and the mayority of them resent being called Spanish. Its like saying Stormont is in the UK which altough ‘correct’ not many Northern Irish people would appreciate. So better said it would be Stormont, Northern Ireland (UK)! Cheers and nice odd little video.

    Sorry mates, Toronto might be a beautiful place to live, but Canadas Habitat 67 is more like a harry potter school, Dumbledor or something. Two nicest and rare like rich looking and fantastic party locations are Floridas “Dome House and France’s Ferdinand Chevat, though Eupope Is proven to be a cowardly continent, nice architecture. America & the Brits are the worlds dominators, sorry to skate off subject. Good video I might add. Learn something new everyday.
