Have you ever been to any skyscrapers and how did you like it? Are there any ones in particular you’d like to visit?

Skyscrapers!

They are! It’s literally crazy how tall they can be.
That’s a good question.
I live near Paris and aside from the business district of La Defense (which I pretty much never go to since there’s nothing to do), which has 95% if not more of Paris’ skyscrapers, there aren’t anywhere else to see any.
I did go up the Tour Montparnasse which was really pretty even though it was a long time ago so I don’t really remember it.
I also went up the Eiffel Tower a few times, if that counts, lol.
I was thinking about this whole thing by myself for a while after one of my friends visited Tokyo and Hong Kong. Like, I’ve never been in a city with a lot of skyscrapers like New York or something and I would love to. Paris is nice I guess, but it’s not very imposing, size wise.

I visited New York in 2021 and was enthralled. It was a jungle of skyscrapers. (we were mostly just walking the city, so I don't recall visiting any).
I've never lived in a city. It was a foreign concept to me. So many people too.
My main criticism for New York are the pushy sales merchants. One guy got angry and yelled a nasty racist comment at us after my younger cousin said 'no thanks' to his CD he wanted to sell. (he made a remark about our families mixed ethnicity). Apparently the correct answer is to just walk away and not say anything to them.
This was in Time's Square. I guess the people there are extra predatory because of all the tourists.

I live near a city and have been to many cities so I've seen lots of skyscrapers, to the point where I'm not very impressed by them lol. I get way more excited when I see an open field than when I see a skyscraper 
The only skyscraper I've ever been to is The Empire State Building. The elevator ride to the top was very long and getting around a bunch of other tourists in the building made me feel claustrophobic. Seeing the city from the top both activated my fear of heights and blew me away. I saw a good amount of Manhattan from up there and the cars on the streets below looked like ants.
