Singapore 7/25: Never would have thought I would be here when I started back to work 6 months ago. But as assignments go this is not so bad, as the pictures show. The trip over was about 17 hours long but business class on Singapore Airlines has a way of making time fly. Left at 9:30 pm from LA Friday night. Arrived 17 hours later Sunday morning in Singapore at 4:30am in the morning. I have never flown for 17 hours before all the time it being dark. The flight was on an A340 ALL business class. Only 4 seats across the plane, with TV’s in the back of the seat in front of you. The seats reclined like a lounge chair so you could lay down almost flat to sleep. Thought I would never say it but actually looking forward to the return trip for numbers of reasons now.
So far the work as been steady but not the break-neck effort I thought it would be, that might change however. Getting back to the hotel at 6:30 every night does not give much time to explore during the week so it was good to go out Friday night with 3 others I know from San Diego. Pubs are all quite nice here.
Then on Saturday was the first Goodrich Family day at Sentosa Beach. Food, games and lots of fun had by all on a beautiful sunny day (no rain). The ocean water here is so warm it was almost not even refreshing………almost. Got to use the MRT (metro transit subway thing) on the way home for the first time too. Good system and I’ll probably use it tomorrow.
So many malls and stores and food places here but I figure with the metro system and taxis I’ll get to see most every area of the city before I go, but not come close to seeing all the stores.
Better sign off for now. Just wanted to get out some pictures of the trip. Tomorrow I’ll be looking for sun glasses and a specific camera store.
