I arrived in Singapore with my whole weekend taken care of for me by the gracious Sam Chow. He hooked me up with his family and friends in Singapore, who were kind enough to really take care of me. Alissa, his sister, took a lot of time out of her day on Friday to come and meet me at the airport, then bring me back to villa-Chow (which was about an hour away).

So the highlight of this day was to meet up with Jacqueline, who is a friend of a friend from SF. She took me to a place called Dragon I (cute, right), which is a spectacular Dim Sum place.

In all seriousness, the flight wasn't that bad. I left SFO at 12:30 AM (Sunday night), so I was able to sleep through most of the flight. I arrived in Hong Kong at 6:30 AM on Tuesday.
