    Great episode! I really enjoyed that story about the Eiffel Tower, it turns out that he was right in saying that it would become to France what the pyramids were to Egypt… I also love the idea of Universal English, and absorbing language concepts from other cultures so that everyone is represented and can better understand one other.

    I thought that the eiffle tower structure was super interesting, these citizens had good doubts , but the man who created the eiffle tower didnt let it phase him, even though he had soft soil and all these problems in the tower , he still did it and thats something thats inspiring.
