Georgetown

Apart from the previous entertaining story, this place is a complete and total shit-hole with few attractions and no value-for-money. The most famous building in town is a not-so-special wooden church in the middle of a roundabout. Lying Planet states that it may be the tallest wooden building in the world but this is obviously not true. It’s 41 m tower doesn’t even beat the Zenchov Cathedral in Almaty, Kazakkstan (around 50 m) and certainly not the 60 m Millennium Tower (containing exhibitions) in Mageburg, Germany, which would be the highest wooden construction in the world if you don't count a radio tower in Gliwice, Poland. The Japanese temple Daihatsu-den is also a massive wooden construction, easily beating the Georgetown cathedral.
In Georgetown there is little except from what you bring with you and the best moment you will have here is when you leave.
