Are tsunamis bigger then the Eiffel Tower?
Not vertically, no. 100 feet seems to be about the maximum. The Eiffel Tower is 1056 feet high. Sensationalists have in the past suggested much higher figures for tsunami waves, but they justify this by measuring the height on land to which the water reaches, which is an entirely different matter; a wave 100 feet high has a tremedous impulsion behind it, which can easily drive water up to 500, even 1000 feet above normal sea level.

There are three levels to the tower, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Both of the bottom 2 levels contain various stores and restaurants. The top floor contains a small staircase leading to the very top of the tower outside, overlooking all of Paris. There is an elevator the that goes to all three floors but the only way to get to the very top is by stairs. There is a large staircase that you can take to get to all of the floors but many people choose the elevator...it's a lot less painfull. I know all of this because I have been there!! :D

Would you be a manager with a bad suit or not appopriate vest???
Would you wear a home clothes to attend a social meeting?
What would you wear of you are a public speaker, even if you were George Bush?
You can't, you never do like that!
Because other people will judge you through your appearance, your clothes! If you wear unappropriate clothes, they will look at you with hamrful eyes! Your personal appearance is VERY important any time you're in a public place. People respond (or not) to you depending on how you look. It seems shallow, but that's the way it is. I personally will go out of my way to avoid interracting with kids who are "saggin". If I'd wanted to see your drawers, I'd have offered to buy you a drink... I've seen otherwise qualified job applicants lose an opportunity because they went to the interview wearing jeans and a tee-shirt. It cannot be stressed enough: YOUR PERSONAL APPEARANCE IS IMPORTANT ANY TIME YOU LEAVE YOUR HOME! (FRC) Your personal appearance should be cultivated and maintained at ALL times. It is not solely reserved for public appearance.
