Kitchen fan, exhaust fan... potato, potata... whatever. What's more frustrating for me, is the fact that I forgot how it's called in *my* native language (and I only left Romania 3 years ago). :S

Now gimme a minute to find a picture and some scissors... :p

Ok folks, I found two pictures, but I don't know which one to pick, so I'm gonna leave you the choice:

Picture 1: 2 famous guys in front of 1 famous building
Picture 2: 1 famous guy in front of 2 famous buildings :P

Which one shall it be? :)

Don't worry, you know both buildings and both (well, at least one of the) guys. Anyway, tLG made the choice, so here it is:

Personally I find the Petronas twin towers even cooler looking, however they're not even half as famous as my buildings.

@tLD: Sorry about the "G" :p otherwise congrats, you are not that far. But remember - there are 2 buildings (one even more famous than the "atom shaped" one) and you have to name them. ;)

@a55a55in: No, my buildings are still there

@TT: No, it's the original pic, as it came out from my camera (you'll see though later why was that a misleading hint) :p

Looks like the Eiffel tower. Maybe it's the twin, the Tokyo tower?

when I said I'll rule out the Eiffel Tower, it was a guess, hoping that you would give it a yes, but suspecting a no .... so is it?
