First day in Singapore

The flight was an overnight flight but I ended up getting no sleep and watched about 5 movies instead. I landed in Singapore at 5:30 am.

As for the flight itself, I was impressed. The flight attendents came out at least once an hour with water and orange juice. The blanket was made of thick fleece and the pillow was nice and fluffy. The knives, spoons and forks were metal. The air was nice and cool and not stuffy. Which meant they flush the air often so we got lots of fresh air. I would recommend SAA.

Since I arrived so early, I've decided to hang out in the airport for a few hours. I used the free massage chairs and free Internet access. But I didn't find the reclining chairs that Tim and Joanne recommended.

At around 9 am I started to make my way to the hostal. I'm staying at the Inn Crowd, recommended by Tim as well. For my first night, I decided to get the private room to help me get over jetleg.

The room was quite basic with a bunk bed and shared shower and toilets.

There were many international people in the hostel and I talked to many of them. They were all very friendly and easy to talk to.

I was quite tired so I didn't venture off very far. I walked around Little India and most of the time I'm walking on the road because there wasn't really a area for pedestrians. I felt awkward at first and a bit dangerous but I got used to it pretty quick.

I ate at two places for dinner today. The first place served Indian food and I got the waiter to recommend something that wasn't spicy. But my palate disagreed with it. So I had to go to another place that served oriential food. I had chicken and rice. Fast and tasty.
