Well the adventure begins with a huge hangover...lol... I am writing this from Singapore Changi, after a fab flight from Sydney this morning. I must say I was hugely pleased after a huge night last night to get on the plane and find that I had been upgraded to business class. I had my doubts this morning when I was checking in that I was actually going to be flying today, funny thing was I went to check in and said Im going to Singapore and they said there is no flight to Singapore this morning. Well I was like, man I have been so looking forward to my trip what the hell has happened. Anyways can you believe it we were off to Dempasar, (ie Bali), spewing that I did not know I was going ... read more

We've just touched down in Changi and are using the free internet to let everyone know that we've made it as far as Singapore. Only one or two screeming kids disturbing our sleep for the past 11 hours. Not to mention the fact that Frankfurt airport was basically closed and all we had access to was a toilet and a drinking fountain, not even a smoking room!!!!!!!! which is why this is a short message as we are just about to go and find somwhere I can smoke. It's not all bad though we're so excited to be here and cant wait to get out and explore the city. Let the adventures begin. Ali & Stew. xxx... read more

Dep Melbourne 0050, Friday 7/7/06, 7 hrs 30 flight to Singapore. Landed at 0605 hrs to a cool 27 degrees C. Got to York Hotel just after 0700 hrs and had to wait around in foyer for 2 hours for our room. Very tired. Got room (great room), showered and we were ready to see the sights. Walked down to Orchard Rd, the main drag of Singa's and looked around. Masses of ppl and the smells take Bird and I back 30 years. Decided to go out to Sembawang/Woodlands, where we met and worked with New Zealand Force SEA in 1976 - 78. Caught the MRT (Mass Rapid Train) (wasn't in existance in our day). Sembawang and Woodlands certainly have changed. Bird got to see her old flat and we had lunch at the old 'Fernleaf ... read more

After much faffing about the UK and flying, I'm finally up to something! Made friends with a Dutch girl and an Italian guy, hereonin referred to as Petra and Ronni. I especially like Petra because she's already been all over SE Asia and answers all my questions. I especially like Ronni because he's been to both Belfast and Edinburgh and really liked them both. Anyway...we bussed into the city centre and explored Little India, Kampung Glam and Chinatown via many, many temples and lots of incense. Also saw the theatres that look like beetles, "Esplanade, The Theatres on the Bay". Tom will be glad to hear that I also walked past the PWC building and a cricket match at the Singapore Cricket Club - took photos just for you TC! Despite Claire's advice, I didn't sample ... read more

So here I am killing time at the Singapore airport. Not hard to do really. 24 hour food, World Cup coverage everywhere, free Internet, the list goes on. This place rocks! So yeah, my flight leaves in about 7 hours for Australia. They kindly let me check in 9 hours before as they were closing their check-in desk. So now I'm wandering the airport to find the next coolest thing every 100 feet... ;o) Although the net is free I have a time limit, so I just wanted to say I made it here, and just taking advantage of free net time. Take care and more news on Australia soon. I'm gonna go find a corner to take in some Z's or watch the game... ... read more
