Sentosa Fountains

After Singapore sealed the deal of Casino plans with Sands, there has been major construction on the Sentosa Island, the future location of one of the Casinos. First was the opening of the monorail that services inter-island travel (of course this is Luke's favorite because it's a choo choo). Then was the complete deconstruction of S.E.A. Village, a beautiful colonial building, and the musical fountain, where the island's trademark light show was performed continuously for a couple decades. Within the span of 10 months, the landscape and outlook of the island was transformed, with many of the remaining sites being updated (e.g. the Merlion below). The small tourist island off the Singapore coast looks more and more like Caesar Palace by the day. There are places that we wish weren't torn down (like the S.E.A. Village), but there are others that we don't care for (like the musical fountain). The kiddie wading pool below is one that we definitely hope will not be encroached upon.
