"Whitecaps" is a standard feature on the Beaufort wind scale. See http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/beaufort.html Whitecaps begin around 12 mph, and by 20 mph they are all over. This is true in TF and anywhere else.

They were the tallest buildings in the world, until the Taipei 101 building was completed in 2004. The KL towers are 88 stories ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petronas_Twin_Towers ); the Taipei building is, would you believe it, 101 stories. What matters for BASE jumpers is not the height of the towers, but the height of the exit point.

Personally, I think just about all Russian paraphernalia is pretty cool. Nesting dolls, cloisonne stuff, ex-Soviet things (even knock offs)...
