Singapore

So we went to the Perth airport on Saturday morning. The flight was overbooked so they were looking for volunteers to go onto a plan later this afternoon. In reward they were offering S$500 (250€ or A$490) + taxi vouchers + upgrade vouchers for business class. And of course I volunteered but unfortunately I wasn’t the only one. So I only made it onto the waiting list and in the end they didn’t need that many people :-( But at least Ian and I got a free breakfast at the airport while we were waiting.
I arrived in Singapore half an hour earlier due to a strong tail wind :-), took the bus to Chinatown and got a room in a nice and cosy backpackers. After I checked in I took the MRT (mass rapid transit train) to the famous Singapore zoo.
