65,000 Red Luft Balloons

On the weekend we went to check out an 11m high balloon sculpture of a Robot at Marina Square - and a lot of little mini-balloon sculptures.  I thought the actual design of the robot could have been a little more creative, but the sheer number of balloons was very cool.  Interesting fact - apparently a thin layer of oil is sprayed on to the balloons to stop them bursting or losing air.  So there you go.  Kids were duly impressed, and if it hadn't been at a shopping centre in Singapore on a weekend (i.e. hell), would have been a pleasant outing!  But pictures speak louder than words....
