Arrived in Singapore

Hello folks!

I arrived in Singapore around midnight after 2 flights totalling 24 hours of transit time. Before getting to Singapore I spent some time in Tokyo's Narita airport. I must say that the Japanese people are charming, polite, and quaint. I felt like I was in one of their RPG games. Most of the shop items were junk - but cute, adorable junk with little kitty faces on everything. I was sad to leave and would love to spend time in Japan one day. The flight from Tokyo to Singapore was gruelling. I sat beside a lady with a nasty cold, but to my knowledge, I am still swine free!

Singapore itself is unlike anything I've ever seen. I haven't been to too many exotic places so that isn't saying much but I am impressed with the city so far. The airport is spacious and musky. The service industry people are very accomodating and the city is evolving into an aesthetic marvel. There are bits of jungle sprinkled amidst towering steel skyscrapers. The harbour is the busiest in the world so it was no surprise when we flew over that it looked like the city extends right into the ocean.

Well, I'm going to wander around aimlessly and hopefully catch my bearings. It's 32 degress Celcius already. Until later folks!
