Vancouver is located on the southwest corner of the mainland of British Columbia, and is bounded on three sides by water. The city offers both outstanding opportunities for outdoor adventure and the sophisticated amenities of a world-class city to its travelers. However, Vancouver is perhaps best known for its scenic natural beauty and the opportunities afforded by its natural environment.

Vancouver is one of the few places in the world where it's possible to ski in the mountains, windsurf in the ocean, and play a round of golf all in the same day. The surrounding snow-covered slopes are perfect for winter sports and breathtaking views of the city twinkling below. Vancouver is a great destination in itself, as well a great starting point for discovering the area's many outdoor activities.

Absolute World Towers, Mississauga, Canada

Absolute World is a striking residential condominium skyscraper complex in the five tower Absolute City Center development located in Mississauga, Ontario in Canada. The two towers are also known as the 'Condo Couple'. The most prominent feature of the twin towers is that each tower twists 209 degrees from the base to the top, making it very similar to Turning Torso in Malmo, Sweden.




Its curving hourglass structural profile has also given it a nickname "Marilyn Monroe Building" due to its curvaceous, hourglass figure likened to actress Marilyn Monroe. One of the twisting towers is 56-storey building with a height of 179 meters while the other is a 50-storey building and stands at 161 meter. The twin towers are currently considered as the tallest buildings in the city of Mississauga.
