1. Oh come on...

It's not that expensive... LOL... 339 SGD is like $275 dollars. I spend $220 a night at some normal hotels in downtown Chicago.

Edit: I assumed you were decrying it as some sort of foreign opulence reserved for the megawealthy... I realize now that maybe you were just pointing it out as cool! I think the hotel looks excellent.

6. Thank you for pointing that out

yes it actually is quite affordable.

I just ran into a picture of it and thought it was cool looking.

2. It's actually not bad looking.

I'm impressed.

3. wow!

That is a spectacular view. Over the years I've lost my nerve to go close to the edge of that "boat." In my younger days it would have been fun.

Thanks for posting the pics.

5. What's that great big petal-shaped thing on the ground?

I think it junks up the view, but it may have redeeming qualities I'm not aware of.

9. The ArtScience Museum

Integrating a museum into a hedonist casino really does junk up the area.

7. Wow! I love it!

It reminds me of what I thought the 21st Century would look like. Love it!

8. Is that a swimming pool on top

If so, that would be so cool to swim in. I'd grab a drink and head to the edge and hang out there all day.

14. Yeah but what if the sides gave out? Huh?

That's what I kept thinking when I was in Mexico last winter hanging out in our fifth floor infinity pool in our villa. :scared:

But I got over it and we made a whirlpool by circling the pool with a bunch of people.

13. It's imaginative, if nothing else.

But it STILL looks like a big wiener.
