Changi Internet

We've been in Singapore for 3.5 days. About to depart for Hong Kong later this afternoon.

I don't think we paid more than $10 between the two of us for a meal in these last few days. I will miss the extremely cheap and tasty food over here.

There were too many instances on this trip where people assumed I was a local and could speak Mandarin. I've lost count as to how many people spoke to me in Mandarin, both in Singapore and Malaysia. (took a day trip to Malacca on Monday. Only downside to this was that I spent an hour in the immigration cue to come back to Singapore later that night)

Other interesting sights I didn't get to see in 2004 when I was last here were: trucks licensed to carry up to 20 people in the back of their utes, (mainly Indians), the same cleaners and shop-assistants at the local Koptiam food court (24 hours) day in day out, and having dinner with Diana, my friend from QUT days, now married and living here.

8 mins left on the clock. Will try and post more frequently in HK, but that depends on whether I can find cheap, free internet.

Watch this SPACE!

The imminent departure to an overseas destination in a few days warrants the resurrection of this forgotton little blog.

If you are still reading this then I say thanks for doing so.

Stay tuned.
