Blogs from Singapore, Asia - page 4

Bonjour à tous, Je commence cette page de blog dans l'avion entre Lyon et Dubaï, je devrais plus tôt dire dans une nurserie. A l'enregistrement j'avais demandé si il y restait des places un peu plus spacieuses pour les jambes. Il y en avait une, bien, vers la cloison de séparation, super pour les jambes, là où on peut accrocher une table pour éventuellement changer les nourrissons. Sur les 30 places autour de moi il doit y une douzaine de bébés. Si seulement ils pouvaient chialer en même temps, bien sur que non, c'est un concert, ça n'arrête pas. Et les changements de couche, les parents sont tous fière de leur progéniture, qui font des cacas qui sentent la rose, mais pour les autres ça sent vraiment la M....J'ai quand même quelques heures de vol derrière ... read more

There were thunderstorms overnight and 22mm of rain however, the weather is fine again this morning, but very, very humid! We continue to be very lucky indeed with the weather on this holiday. We are also lucky to not be at home in Melbourne where it has been wet, wet, wet! This morning the plan was to purchase three day tourist passes to use Singapore’s public transport system (Mass Rapid Transport - MRT). Hmmn, Bernie’s research suggested that we could buy these tourist tickets at Cheers convenience stores. We purchased water, Coke and beer at a Cheers store near the hotel yesterday afternoon so we headed back there this morning to ask about the MRT ticket for tourists. All she had to offer us there was some sort of parking ticket. Undeterred we headed off to ... read more

Skytrax, a UK-based airline and airport review and ranking site, conducted more than 14 million customer surveys in more than 100 countries between September 2021 to August 2022 to find out the world’s current favorite airline. This year’s winner was no stranger to the podium. The newly crowned Qatar Airways has won the top prize a total of seven times since the awards were introduced in 1999. The Qatari flag-carrier also scooped up eight more gongs on Friday, including Best Business Class, Best Business Class Seat and Best Business Class Lounge Dining. That’s going to be a lot to bring back through hand luggage. Just two months ago, the carrier took the No.1 slot in url=https://cnn.com/travel/article/airline-ratings-worlds-best-airlines-2022/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_msnAirlineRatings.com’s ranking of the world’s best airlines.

After years of waiting for the ability to travel again, and counting down the days and hours, we have started our journey back to one of our most favourite spots. Indonesia. Leaving Vancouver and boarding Singapore Air for a 16 hour flight (longest we have ever done) on Saturday, we arrived in Singapore Sunday afternoon. The flight was easy, comfortable and went fairly quickly. We wandered the airport to get our bearings and then realized our bodies were thinking it was 1 am BC time. We looked for a place to settle as the hotels at the airport were booked, and found a meditation room. A couple others had the same idea, so instant hostel type sleeping set up. It was surprisingly comfortable and we rested off an on until 0530 Singapore time. Then off to ... read more
