Instead, it looked like something you would see advertising the World's Fair in the 1950s. With the ski lifts taking people from one side of the park to the other and the odd futuristic building in the background, I half expected to see a sign advertising "The Wave of the Future: Nuclear Powered Ovens!", or some other equally incorrect prediction about future life.
Mmmm..right. So we kept walking and what did we see? Kids! Kids walking, kids riding on the elephant tram, kids going into the zoo, and kids headed to the amusement park. Not exactly what we had expected...
Elephant ride thingy; Me at the zoo

Don't think it was only for kids, too. There were plenty of adults goofing around and generally acting like kids. It wasn't uncommon to see business men riding the ski lift or a group of woment trying to make pyramids for a photo shoot.
Maybe they're negociating a deal?
It's all fun and games until someone gets a hernia
Fortunately, we did find one place of solitude: the Modern Art Museum. As there's not many funny or silly things to do in the grounds of the museum we were finally able to take a seat next to a man-made lake and relax. In the background, there was a singing statue (it is modern art after all) that at first sounded like a really bad saxaphone player, but after a while, it became a nice, soothing, meditating sound for us.

With our relaxation over, we decided to head out and maybe try the park another day when we have more energy to have fun. On the way out, we were reminded that, again, we are half way around the world by the odious smell of cooked butterfly larvae. I'm usually the kind to try any wierd food, but not that day. It'll have to wait.
We're silly and adventurous, computer geeks and yoga peeps.
