Singapore

Well we have been on the plane for 7 hours now and have a 2 hour stop over in Singapore.

the plane ride was great. Loads of food. The hostesses just kept running up and down the isles offering us food and drinks. Having said that i am so tired. Ive put it down to the constant hum of the plane and the tv screens being perched on the seat in front - a bit to close for my eyes.

As we descended into Singapore it was amazing to see the winding rivers and lush forest of rural asia and then out of nowhere see the airport buildings appear.

Singapore airport is amazing. So commercialized. At the moment there is a voice on the p.a. announcing a Saturday raffle for a car - the tv screens are beaming us the academy awards, world federation wrestling, american football and international news.

We were just passed by three armed soldiers carrying sub-machine guns across their chest, one hand on the barrel and one near the trigger. Freaky

Luke was just commenting that he cant believe we are over seas. Maybe it will sink in once we are actually out in the real world - not the airport mega mall!

At 8pm we are off to KL so we are going off to the lounge to flick through our Lonely Planet guide and decide what our first day in Asia will have in store for us.

cheers stephanie
