6 am, Singapore Airport

You have to love airports with free internet access, and entire train systems to get from one terminal to another. This place is massive, and filled with an enormous amount of shops and places to eat - including, and not unexpectedly, the mighty empires of Starbucks and Burger King. The flight was pretty good; I ended up watching Flight of the Conchords (Hooray!) and How I Met Your Mother, but I hardly slept a wink. I sat between a friendly couple whose pet names (Goggie and Boo) I learned, but their real names will remain an eternal mystery to me. I awoke near the end of the flight with an immigration form sitting in front of me with "DEATH FOR DRUG TRAFFICKERS IN SINGAPORE" written in bold red letters. Quite a frightening fact, that, and not a particularly nice way to wake up.

I take a plan to Bangkok a bit later today. Time to take a walk and go find some food and coffee now. It's great to be wandering around with a backpack in new places.

  3. Ha ha! You made me laugh with the couple and their pet names :D Please don't traffic drugs in Singapore. That would be a bad idea.

    All the best for Bangkok! Don't forget that you have to sing there. All together now! "One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster..."
