• It's just nice to work hard and be rewarded, which is having lots of people watch.

That becomes the cherry on top, the icing on the cake.

The icing covers up the mess, and that's how I feel about most of the Wonders. They use them to get people to visit a place that you probably wouldn't think about visiting.
