Siangapore Airprort is wonderful. I type this sitting in the burgerking at Terminal 1, however it will be until I get to Cairo until I post it I think. The airport is just wonderful, containign almost as large a range of products, if not stores, as most shopping centres in wither Melbourne or Sydney, and it is beautifull here. Plants and waterfeatures, large open spaces and even at 10pm (local) it is teaming with people of many races.

The flight was uneventful, one minor bout of turbulance, and that was all. Watched Fightclub, some how appropriate and you will understand what I mean if you watch it again in the mindset of being on a plane.

Minor shocks so far: Ashtrays in the armreasts on the plane, which I should have expected, the 747-400's are aproaching 20 years old if not more. Not that the age showed elsewhwere. Announcements in chinese at the airport, just odd given that I have never realy heard any language but english over a PA system. And lastly, the number of cargoships in the water coming into Singapore. Serioulsy, I have NEVER seen that many ships in the one place. I made out a distinct 15 at a quick count, and saw pleanty more ship lights in the light mist.

I went outside briefly, thinking to have a glass of coke in the cactus garden only 20m away from me, but it was sooo muggy outside. Never felt anything like it, short of actually being in a sauna. It is crazy hot, I had fogotten I was in the tropics here.

Moving from T3 to T@ is proving to be a small adventure in itself, I still have, at the time of writing, 2 hours until I have to be at the gate, 3 until my plane leaves, so I decided to walk instead of taking the skytrain. This is taking me through T1 (where I am now), and I walked to te opposite end of T3 earlier. The whole place is beautiful, and so large I think Melbourne airport would fit in a single terminal here.

Until I get to Cairo, happy sleeping.
