@Spider Sister: In defense of Singapore, they're well along to actually finishing projects next year, including a couple major casinos. So they do have revenue set to roll in, unlike some other areas I could mention...
That said, I'm not entirely sure how this project makes money.
@Magicant: That's the problem with public gardens like this. Either you overcharge or you get some sort of financial aid from the host city to continue running unless you want to hemorrhage out the wazoo.
Love the pillowcases! Several friends have told me that she is Leonard Nimoy's niece. He makes a cameo in one of her videos, unfortunately I cannot recall which.
Jane's the best! She's got oodles of geek cred and she's a hoot! Her home is a reflection of how adorkable she really is. I would totally want to live there, too bad she doesn't come with the place! ;-)
Now if I was Luke Skywalker and I need somewhere to stay on Hoth......this wouldnt be it!! The colour scheme is horrific!! An AT-AT would spot me a friggin mile away!!
I'll stick with the Taun Taun thanks.....better interior anyway!
People who are colorblind should never be encouraged to design anything. If I'd had to spend two weeks in one of those, I'd be praying for snow blindness.
@ManchuCandidate: They could be worse. Some how. Not sure how. But there must be a way. Look at it this way, no one will know when you miss the toilet.
Maybe I don't really understand the blueprint. Is there a way to get in and out without dropping the interior air temp a lot (like an air lock)? Also, solar-powered is cool. But what if the sun doesn't shine for a long time?
Also, the colors suck, big time. I might survive 15 days in there, but my soul would suffer irreparable damage.

I'm taking a can of paint to the glacier with me, then.

"Is that... chartreuse?"
Will now be my response in all future "Do you feel lucky, punk?" moments ...

When looking at the interior pics, I kept wondering where the red lens ports were for Hal to see me.
