Greetings from the McDonalds in Changi airport Singapore (where they have free internet!). Larna and I have joined the millions of other passengers currently prevented from flying to Europe due to the damned volcanic ash. Looks like we will be here a few days at least.
Despite the delay we are enjoying Singapore - so clean, serene and modern - a nice contrast to Thailand. Went to the famous Raffles Hotel yesterday, which did not disappoint with its old colonial grandeur and strolled through the parks and waterfront. Its quite a change not being stopped every 50 yards by someone to ask us "Where you from? Where you want to go?"
We stayed in a bizarre and crappy hostel last night. Our room was the "matchbox suite" and you could barely walk around the bunk bed let alone swing a cat! Plus it seemed to have full time residents including one guy who spent the whole night snoring loudly on the couch, next to our door.
And...if you want to spend time in an airport, Changi has got to be one of the nicest to do that in!
