ReplyDeleteI've been there and the most unbelievable thing happened to me and my friends. the lift inside the statue broke down! and we had to drag our a$$ to the top climbing the narrow staircase. but it was a really good experience. cuma sayang tak sampai ke obor dia. extra $5-$10 bucks tak silap untuk naik obor je :(
