Tokyo to Singapore

This flight was an eight-hour flight. As before we had meals that were excellent. However, unlike last time, I declined all the meals. I had eaten enough already. I did take all the hot towels offered so that I could stay fresh!

The big difference on this leg of the trip was my seat. I was able to fully recline the seat! It is everthing it is advertised to be. I was able to lie down in an almost fully horizontal position. I slept through most of this flight while listening to music using the killer headphones.

Because of the time change again, we arrived in Singapore at 1:50am on Friday morning. It's airport is more impressive than Tokyo's. There was much more glass and chrome metal, lots of space to walk around, marble floors, falling water scultures, and areas with large amounts of greenary inside the terminal. It looks like a very expensive mall. Someone mentioned that there is a Mercedes-Benz dealership in the concourse but I didn't see it.

The six of us rode in one mini-van taxi to our hotel, Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore. There was very little traffic on the roads because of the hour. But several things I did notice: the roads were very well lit, they were very clean, and they looked very well maintained. Additionally, the roads we traveled had a lot greenery along the streets. And the few vehicles I saw including the taxi were very clean. It must be a requirement locally that you cannot drive a dirty car!

We are in Singapore for almost two days before making the last leg of the trip to Chennai.
