We are Top 3 in the Whole World!!!
There's a list of various things which are top 3 in their own category (list drafted out by japanese i think, hence subjective ones are, well, rated from japanese viewpoint), for example:
World's 3 largest Rivers - Amazon, Nile, Mississipi.
World's 3 best Musuems - Hermitage (Russia), Lourve (France), Metropolitan (NYC).
World's 3 top Cities - NYC, Tokyo, London.
World's 3 best Nite Views - Napoli, Hakodate, Hong Kong.
etc. etc.
but not to worry... Singapore is top 3 in one of the categories!!!
世界三大がっかり - シンガポールのマーライオン, コペンハーゲンの人魚姫, ブリュッセルの小便小僧, 日本・札幌市時計台, シドニーのオペラハウス
If you can read Japanese, well guess you will be laughing your heads off by now... if not, well, I am proud to say that Singapore's Merlion is one of the Top 3 disappointments in the World!!
Copenhagen's Den Lille Havfrue (Mermaid) takes up 2nd spot, and the 3rd, most lists say Brussel's Manneken Pis (Peeing Monk), but some say Sapporo's Clock Tower, or Sydney Opera House. But undeniably, Singapore comes out tops here! (since 1994 according to here)
and interestingly, to Japanese, the first thing that comes to mind when they hear Singapore is Merlion. and if its so disappointing, its quite sad to see what their initial thoughts of Singapore is rite? hehe... anyway give a few more years and I think they will update the top 3 to include the Esplanade too ;p
anyway this came up when I was chatting with my band mates during a booze session just now... heh.
For the whole list, you can view it here. In Japanese though.
