A Pakistani man, said to be the world's tallest man, has arrived in Taiwan to spend four months living in the Guinness World Record museum in the island's central city, Taichung. Mr Soomro, from Karachi, is to become, quite literally, a museum exhibit when he takes up resident for four months at the Guinness museum in the central-Taiwanese city of Taichung. The museum is a quirky landmark on an island notable for its architectural drabness. Its main building is shaped like a letter 'A' to represent the spine of the record book, which is its central theme.
Smaller buildings are in the form of a football and a hamburger.
A sporting ambassador Staff at the museum have prepared a room for him with a specially constructed bed, big enough for about 20 visiting children to sit on, and other furniture to match. He is being called a sporting ambassador, who it is hoped will promote exercise on an island where many people lead a strikingly inactive lifestyle.
