Sneak peek at Singapore Changi Airport's spectacular new Jewel
Big deal - Our Airports can strip grandma naked using x-rays and has people who are willing put their fingers up your ass to make sure you aren't hiding a bomb in your rectum. USA USA !!!
https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/jewel-changi-airport-singapore/index.html Singapore (CNN) — A 250-meter-long bouncing net three stories above ground. A 50-meter-long suspended bridge with glass-panel flooring.
Walking trails amongst a lush jungle of animal-shaped topiaries in a five-story terraced garden. A 40-meter-tall waterfall cascading from an opening in a vaulted glass roof canopy. An art sculpture made up of four giant, integrated slides. And that's just scratching the surface. The thrilling attractions at Singapore's SGD$1.7 billion (US$1.27 billion) Jewel Changi Airport, an addition to Changi Airport due to open in 2019, will boost the already impressive offerings of a facility that's been voted best in the world for six years in a row. With its "delicate" latticework of glass panels framed in steel, the distinctive donut-shaped Jewel is first and foremost a central hub, connecting three of Changi Airport's current four terminals. But it's also potentially a destination in its own right, featuring a large mall to entice locals and visitors alike.

Not like the amazingly visceral "I'll gut you while looking you in the eye" ethos of Duterte. Ah, Life. Such a rich tapestry.
