Singapore, Singapore

We booked our flight for the Sunday so that we weren't rushed to pack and leave. I haven't flown through Terminal 1 at Pearson for a year, and wow have they improved the experience. Where there used to be rows of uninviting seats, there's now lounge seating that rivals Porter, and every seat has an iPad with free web access (you have to watch a 10 second ad), and USB and electrical outlets. It's very impressive.

Another benefit of flying out on Sunday is that the flight to Tokyo was only 75% full. We had a row to ourselves to stretch out. Thirteen hours to Tokyo, two hours layover and then seven hours to Singapore. 28 hours door to door.

Heather had picked up homeopathic tablets called NoJetLag, and maybe it works or maybe it's a placebo effect, but we feel pretty good this morning. We're staying at the Naomi Liora hotel in Chinatown. We walked over to the hawker stalls in the Chinatown Complex for breakfast, mmm good.

The rest of today is just relaxing and eating and trying to stay awake. Tomorrow morning we fly out to Borneo. It's a short three-hour flight :)

  1. Glad to know that you are doing well. Who knows about the No Jet Lag, but it was worth a try!
