While I was making my way around Singapore, I happened upon this funky exhibit... in an inflatable building, and had to go inside to see what it was all about. Apparently the Prince of Oman had given a gift to Singapore and set up an exhibit to show what he had done, which was basically an ad for tourism in Oman. The replica took 2 years to build, so I wonder how long the actual boart took...??


The gift was a replica of an ancient vessel that was built without any fasteners, and only the items shown in the picture below...
