Chillin at Changi

This leg of the trip is somewhat more worthy of a blog entry! Sydney to Singapore... believe it or not we did actually try and get some SIFE related work done. Merran gave us three pages worth of questions, we got out the laptop & the financials, etc.. to prepare but we were somewhat distracted by...well...the movies and games

Seriously! There are kids on these flights and they're showing the Girl Next Door (about a porn star who moves in next door to a nerd) & a doco on Moulin Rouge (showing all the body parts that the Rouge is famous for..). Ben and I were particularly disturbed to see Sajjad staring intently at the screen whilst all of this was going on.

Singapore Airport is awesome as always... you can tell that they have GDP to spare (bastards!). NZ doesn't have GDP to spare, that's why we don't have free internet at our airports and all of our toilet cubicles are littered with pick up lines. Obviously Singapore has free internet otherwise I wouldn't be typing this (I'm cheap I know..) & as for the toilets well... they greet you with big posters featuring words like "refreshing"& they smell (in the words of Ben) like "Bathrooms after women have had showers in them". So refreshing were these toilets that Sajjad managed to spend a good 1/2 an hour in the 'squatting' toilet (which is effectively a well decorated hole in the ground).. he might have been there for longer if Ben hadn't launched a rescue mission.

Anywho.. I better go see watsup with all these fountains and electronic stores littering the place! I'll let you know if my mission not to get arrested in Singapore goes ahead as planned!
