Sentosa might be the most exciting venue in Singapore right now what with the ZoukOut in full swing, but it's recently been named one of "the most disappointing places on Earth" by Business Insider (BI).
BI writer Megan Willett's gripe in particular is with the offshore island destination's beaches, Palawan, Tanjong and Siloso, where the outdoor festival is located.
Quoting Reddit user 'magnora4', she wrote, “It’s all fancy and hyper-developed and connected to one of the largest malls on earth (Vivo Mall), but you get to the beach via monorail and you get to the sand and look out to the ocean and all you see is oil tankers and factories spewing smoke on the horizon. It was like some sort of futuristic dystopia.”
Some of the forementioned places on the list of 16 are Casablanca, Maldives capital Malè, Jamaica, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and Marrakech, which inspired a George Orwell essay. Photo: Aapo Haapanen via Business Insider
