Marina Bay Light Show, Part Deux

Anybody can spray water and shoot lasers like the kind that annoy pilots and baseball fans. However, it takes Sheldon Adelson AND a government with a strong belief in the power of positive propaganda to take the show to the next level and the next. By the time the 15-minute commercial ended, mistily projected healthy Singaporean children grew up to run and overcome and thrive, happily passing their work ethic and mental soundness to their own adoring children. There was smoke and a bubble machine and even gouts of flame (for overcoming). The Chariots of Fire theme was quoted and then eclipsed for pure dramaticness. There were very few dry eyes. And now bring it down with a little Louis Armstrong.

And now please Sir, to return to the hotel. Gucci and Rolex and Alexander McQueen are still open if you desire, as is the casino. Indeed, what a wonderful world.
