Mam niewiele czasu bo samolot niestety musi odlecieć o wyznaczonej porze, więc będę się dziś streszczał i nie zanudzę towarzystwa tak jak co dzień. Właśnie, samolot, lotnisko. Dziś mieliśmy nieco więcej czasu na pochodzenie po Changi Airport w Singapurze i ilość atrakcji jaką za darmo oferują na lotnisku jest... nie do wypróbowania podczas paru godzin. Darmowe kino, sale gier komputerowych, wygodne loże dla dłużej oczekujących, nie wspomnę już o niesamowitych ogrodach i darmowym, na każdym kroku internecie, z którego zresztą właśnie korzystam. Żyć nie odlatywać. Lotnisko stworzone dla oczekujących, a nie tylko po to aby ich wyrzucić z samolotu, lub do niego wrzucić. Tajowie muszą się jeszcze wiele nauczyć w kwestii podejścia do klienta. Nie wiem tylko czy wyraziliby ochotę. To co napisałem o lotnisku było doświadczeniem dziś podczas całego dnia, który spędziliśmy w różn... read more

Just shy of two years ago I packed my bags and headed out on the most wonderful adventure......and right now I’m heading back to the country and people that stole my heart !! A very short trip this time though...but no less anticipated. I always knew that my 2011 trip would be a life-changing experience and I can say without reservation that it certainly was. I experienced so much during that trip and learnt a lot about myself, as well as feeling a great sense of achievement with the knowledge that I had in fact made a positive impact on the lives a quite a few people....not everyone gets that opportunity in their lifetime. Now my life is segregated into “pre-Cambodia”; “when I was in Cambodia” and “since I got back from Cambodia”....there’s not a day ... read more

Had a 4 hour stopover at Singapore. Changi International Airport has not been voted best in the world 4 times for no reason - after having a little nap in theír 'Sleep Zone' I had a wander around the butterfly garden and then got my first dose of Asian sun for quite some time in the Cactus Garden - all for free public use without leaving the confines of the airport. I then made use of the Terminal 1 roof terrace pool ($13USD) - it was wonderful, and there is a bar too!! I'd have happily paid twice the price I found myself thinking as I swam my widths in the cool clear water with the sun beating down on me. There are worse ways to wait for ones connecting flight! With the shops, restaurants, gardens, ... read more

Hop 1 has brought the wanderer to the sunny, familiar, pleasantly efficient, impressively hygienic, and surprisingly bleep-ridden environs of Changi airport, Singapore. Not much sleep had on first flight despite the 5 am start yesterday. Shame really as that flight was the right one to sleep through in order to wake in the morning here and then be in approximately the right time zone when landing in Melbourne. Oh well, as is often the case, the wanderer's body is making it up as it goes along. Exhausted when it woke, caffeine fuelled on the busy drive to Heathrow, exhausted again as it boarded the plane, and yet it still decided about an hour or so of sleep would be enough and its owner should spend the rest of the flight in the company of films and ... read more

So far so good. Landed at Changi about twenty minutes ago. Flight was a breeze ......... Singapore sling en route! and good food by Singapore Airlines, went native for breakfast with noodles, chicken and veg. Bu t also served with a very British bread roll butter and maramalde. Bit of turbulence on descent into Changi but managed not to whimper or gasp like the big girls blouse that I am. Only another ten hours.... read more
