» Blog Archive Is this well spent real estate?

Sometimes I feel that living in San Francisco bay area is like living as a rat. Too many people, too little houses, too much money to buy a house. New York is even worse. My friends can’t even turn around without bumping into each other in their tiny kitchens. Hmm. So I came across this on the web today… Is this really land well spent?

World’s Largest Swimming Pool

Already drawing the crowds in the South American resort of San Alfonso del Mar in Chile, this artificial lagoon and swimming pool is eight hectares in size and contains an incredible 250,000 cubic meters of water. Acknowledged by Guinness World Records as being the world’s largest swimming pool, the lagoon trounces all other record holders in the category, including the Orthlieb pool in Casablanca, Morocco, itself a huge 150 meters by 100 meters – the San Alfonso pool is 1km in length.

The revolutionary clear water artificial lagoons, transparent to a depth of 35 meters and unprecedented in design and construction methods, are the brainchild of Crystal Lagoons founder, biochemist and Chilean businessman Fernando Fischmann. Equivalent in size to an incredible 6,000 standard domestic pools, details of its technology are to be unveiled for the first time at Cityscape Dubai later this month.

******************

Hmmm, seeing how close the pool is to the actual ocean. I wonder… is this really necessary? What are we trying to prove? Hmm… I ponder… At what point when we become too excessive?
