Arrival at Singapore

Stepping out from the plane, a carpeted passage way and cool ambiance welcome us. Truly, Singapore's Changi Airport is one of the best (as for me, since it is the first international airport I've been to). Clean and comfy restrooms with branded tissue and liquid soap, very convenient walkalator, a lot of seats and of course many different shops to choose from.

Changi in Singapore ranked 2 as world's best airports.

Unfortunately, I'm in fever when we board off but not too high for the fever detection system to discover. LOL! Needed total rest. Very toxic as we traveled from Pangasinan - NAIA - SG.

Just got off from the plane with Arman and Mary Jane. Mayann took this picture.


They say Singapore's tap water is clean and safe to drink despite the fact that it is being "recycled". I tried the airport's drinking fountain. The water tastes good and it's cold (kewhl). :))))

Managed to post for a picture even though I feel very sick

The second thing we did at the airport (first is to find the nearest restroom) was to look for the highest "bidder" for our peso(s). :))) As 3 of us are accountants, we really did the Math and computation. Well, if we changed in the PI, our peso(s) to SGD could be sold at a lower price. Meaning, we lost by P2.00 per SGD. Mary Jane keep mumbling about this "bankruptcy" every minute and every hour of that day. That's the effect to her (accountant kasi). LOL!

From the airport, we took the cab going to our hotel (Fragrance Hotel - Joo Chiat). Of course, we are amazed of their taxi. A Mercedes-Benz taxi, computerized meter, accepts credit card and good air conditioning. Cool isn't it? Wish PI have this.

The road to our hotel is similar to Baguio and Makati. Trees and flowering plants are all over. Green place, you cannot see any unwanted garbage at the pavement. Really an amazing place!

I forgot to take pictures of our room and the hotel. I'm disappointed with our room. Their family room is leveled to PI's standard single room. It's too small for a family.
