Making ourselves comfy in the food court... preparing for a long night ahead...We’re currently in Singapore Airport (Changi) - we arrived this afternoon at 3:45pm and fly out tomorrow morning at 6:20am, headed for Beijing via Guangzhou. Given the short time between flights, we’ve decided to hang out at the airport for the night… it’s cheaper than paying for accommodation and transfers, and at least we know we’ll definitely get to our flight on time!
Unfortunately, Tiger Airways flies out of the “Budget Terminal,” which is decidedly lacklustre… so we’ve made our way to the main airport as we figured it would have more facilities.

Having said goodbye to Vietnam after too short a time there, but a nice farewell walk (and shop!) in HCMC this morning, I am looking forward to what lies ahead - Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in Beijing, and whatever else we can cram in to the two days we are there, and the beginning of our adventures on the Trans-Mongolian Railway!
The first week of our travels is drawing to a close and when I think about how much we have done/seen/experienced in just that small fraction of time I am excited to imagine all that is to come. This is just the beginning…
