    Isn't that the "silver tower" syndrom?

      Ivory tower.

      Interesting that it's called silver tower in your language. What's your native language? Is the word for silver and ivory the same? Probably not, but just curious.

        Nope, very different words :)

        Ivory -> Ivoire

        Silver -> argent

        Often, I don't know or do the wrong translation of culture/language specific idioms.
