... he took us on a tour of his 'arc'.... So the arc is in the hostel gardens and it's this huge building made for 'the end of the world' or for when a tsunami hits. It's taken him a year and a half to build and its still in the making oh and it's worth $500,000...He claims its completely water tight so it will float when the tsunami hits.
