Leaving SG Now

---

Had the surreal experience of being taken to Changi Airport in a London black cab. Most taxis here are blue Toyota Crowns, but the concierge had a huge grin on his face as I hobbled out the lift, dragging my cases behind me. He had spotted this cab earlier, knew I was checking out today, and had asked him to come back about the time he thought I’d be leaving. Just in case I was homesick!

Looking at the city on the way out. It’s so clean, such diverse but stereotypical buildings - high-rise flats painted lime and orange; vast colonial mansion sprawls; temples with all the twiddly bits; even a row of 3-storey Victorianesque townhouses - all sprinkled between amazing bushes, trees and flowers. And every single car, regardless of it’s age, is pristine. It feels like Disneyland, or a Universal Studios set.

Make you fell at home
Hey Erin, Here in Japan I once had a sushi chef top my grilled eel with melted cheese to make me feel more at home! Bloody minging it was! Keep well and updating. Kieran

Its Tough but someone has to do it
Sitting here in freezing cold Derby, I am not just envious of my little daughter's adventures, but bloody livid that I am not diving in Thailand with her.. someone has to look after the dogs apparently! She has been in touch and has promised to let me know everyday that she has surfaced!
