Singapore

The first part of the journey is done and we just landed at Changi Airport in Singapore. I must say I felt mixed emotions walking away from my family (pap, mam, jola, wilco, matthijs and wim) and friends (Colin, Marten & Wouter) at Shiphol today and flying off on my own. I felt adventurous with a knot in my stomach at the same time. I may not be closeby anymore, but Internet helps and I am always 24 hours away (and that is not that long!) ;)

Arriving at my seat it appeared to be a windowless seat. Stupid enough I even checked a site with seat information for the Boeing 777-200 which said this was a good seat ;) Good thing though was it was cloudy all the way and half of it in the dark so who needs windows anyways :P The good thing for a windowless row was that the other two seats next to me were not occupied so that gave me quite some space for me myself and I ;)

Excellent entertainment system by the way; dozens of films, documetaries, tv shows on demand on your own in flight entertainment system. Perfect :) I watched National Treasure 2, Bee Movie and 5 knights. All pretty amusing but not terrific ;)

The time here is 6:40 AM and Singapore is in the same timezone as Perth. It feels pretty humid and according to the airplane’s thermometer it’s 26 degrees outside (at night!). As I have 3 hours to kill before daparture to Perth (09:35) I think I’ll have a look at the transfer hotel as there is a sign (as Marten told me) that you can have a shower over there. Might be a good idea ;)

Next post will be from Perth! :P

  1. He kanjer! Wat lief dat je meteen mailt. Jammer dat de chat niet werkte. Fijn dat je op Singapore bent. Je zal wel gaar zijn. Ik mis je nu al. Kan niet slapen en ben nog erg onrustig dus een glaasje whisky op dit moment doet wonderen. Hoop dat je vlucht de 2-e etappe ook goed gaat. Wel relaxed 3 stoelen voor jezelf :-) Geniet ervan en ik mis je nu al, enorm! Dikke knuffel van ons, liefs.

  2. He Peer!
    What an inconvience with that missing window! Hope you had a better seat on the leg to Perth (but, you had the same seat?). How’s Perth treating you, had no problems with Customs :) ?

    What is your first impression of Perth? I found it to be somewhat smallish and more laid-back compairing to Sydney. Was your YHA-application all right, was it waiting four you at the PO?

    Gr,
    Marten
