In Singapore the biggest Ferris Wheel in the world was opened for the first time this Monday, when special guests took it for a spin. The observation wheel is Singapore’s newest tourist attraction. Named the Singapore Flyer, the giant wheel measures 165 meters in height. An impressive 30 meters taller then the London Eye, its main rival. The Singapore flyer thus officially knocked the London Eye of the first spot as tallest Ferris wheel in the world.

A total of 28 passenger gondolas are attached to the wheel, each the size of a regular city bus. Each gondola provides enough space for 28 people to walk freely. After reaching the highest point, tourist can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city-state. It is said, that, during clear weather, the distant shores of Indonesia and Malaysia can be seen.

In Japan the programmer credited to thinking up the extremely popular Nintendo game Brain Training refused to be paid 15 million dollars in royalties. Mister Kawashima said people should only be entitles to money they actually worked for and that he is perfectly satisfied with his annual 70.000 euros paycheck.

He is planning to use the money on research for projects he is already working on for years. Not taking all the money does not make him very popular with his family and friends. They seem to have their own ideas about spending all the money.
