Fantastic. I remember going to Madurodam (sp) in Holland when I was in 8th grade.
It is a collection of sites from across the Netherlands in 1/25th scale.

Unbelievable!

That is beyond incredible. Reminds me of the model train exhibit on display every year at the Citicorp Building. There is no thrill in the world like seeing it through your children's eyes.

Pretty amazing. If I were going to Germany, I'd have to make Hamburg a stop just for this.

There is a railway set up about 1/20th the size of that in the Lancaster, PA area. Seeing that in person was amazing. I cannot imagine what this would be like in person.

I didn't see a basketball game anywhere

and that voice reminds me a little bit of HAL.
