If you ever have 6 hours to kill at an airport, Singapore is the place to do it at. I’ve seen Singapore before, many years ago with my folks (and I’ll be stopping here for three days on my way back to the States in June). I think it just slipped my mind regarding how advanced these people are and how much on the cutting edge of convenience, technology, and cleanliness they are. My dad made a comment yesterday before I left that, “It’s amazing that an island in the South China Sea, with only 4 million inhabitants, has one of the best airlines in the world. Why is that? And India, with over one billion doesn’t have one decent one.” I agree. What’s up with that. It seems to be one of the many cases in India, where nationalization has stunted any competition or growth.
I’ll post my airplane journey- written in my journal- after I get settled into Bombay, where the temperature is looking to be a cool 87 degrees for the weekend.
If you’re still there, make sure to check out Little India. And don’t walk on the grass!
