The DHL Balloon is a giant helium balloon, located on Tan Quee Lan Street in the Downtown Core of Singapore. Sited next to the New 7th Story Hotel and near Bugis MRT Station, the distinctive red and yellow commercial passenger balloon is the world's largest tethered helium balloon.
The balloon has been there since 2005 and going to be relocated back to France by the end of September 2008. For only $23, you'll get a breathtaking 360 degree panoramic view of the entire Singapore at a height of 150m. I thought it'd be a cool idea to try it before they close it down. So, I went there on the 20th, 10 days before they flatten the balloon.

Had lunch-cum-dinner at M.O.S and saw an interesting wall painting at Bugis Street. Look at the figure carefully, with her mouth placed on neck, shoe on head and a penis-look-alike nose.
There you are, the famous DHL balloon.Unfortunately, that cursed balloon was closed for maintenance. For heaven's sake, I really don't understand why did they bother to maintain it only for another 10 freaking damned days. I wasn't the only disappointed visitors. The few people behind me in the picture came all the way from either KL or HK to try it out, poor things.
