Helen's Here!

Our friend Helen from Pohnpei is visiting us for a week!

Yesterday we went for a spin with her on the Singapore Flyer.

The promotional materials go to great pains to emphesize that this is an OBSERVATION WHEEL, not a FERRIS WHEEL. I say, potato/potahto. I'll call it an observeriss wheel.

Here is one view of lovely Singapore from the wheel...

One little-known fact: not only is this the world's tallest observation wheel, it is also the world's widest!

Looking out at the ships anchored off Singapore...

We were given a private "pod" for our revolution, and our pod was the ParTAY pod! They piped in this George Benson-ish music that played on a loop for the entire 1/2 hour trip. We created our own lyrics and belted it out throughout the journey:

SINGAPORE FLYER!
TAKE US HIGHER!
WITH DAN MEYER!

Here we are approaching the top of the ride. This ride was a real kick-in-the-pants. I highly recommend it!
