Singapore 1-3 May

Yummy Yum cha with family at Marigold, followed by a rush to Mascot. I had checked in with SingAir online, and to my surprise, was able to walk past all 100 people queuing in the normal check in and straight to the desk. Prior preparation is king!

Swiftly through customs and into the lounge. An attractive Chinese girl asks me if I would like to do a survey for Tourism Australia. I said yes, then she looked disappointed "you are Australian?"

Landing in Singapore at T3 has got to be the least stressful travel destination to arrive to. Big space for a small place, and no queuing at all. Bag ready to pick up about 10mins after the plane lands, and directly into a super clean Taxi and a talkative driver.

The Casinos are the big new thing, though locals have to pay $100 SGD to walk in and they are separated to their own tables, and foreigners go in for free....crazy place.

Hotel Bencoolen has a reputation for being seedy...I find out now. With lots of street walkers outside. Room is tiny, but the bed is good and everything is adequate, finally - SLEEEEEEP
