It's been about 26 hours of flying, but we've finally made it into Singapore! Highlights of the trip included a stop-off in Vancouver where we were not allowed to get off the plane and had to leave the bathrooms unoccupied while they were being cleaned. Unfortunate passengers for whom nature called (such as myself) were rather rudely interrupted when the cleaning staff somehow opened the doors from the outside. Upon arriving at Changi international airport and taking the subway to the district of our hostel, we were greeted by a massive thunder storm. For about an hour it rained just about as hard as I've ever seen it rain before, and the thunder sounded like gunshots above us. We finally tired of waiting for the rain to clear. Luckily Rich had the foresight to pack a bunch of trash bags. Schlepping our bags in the trash bags, and also wearing them, which we draped over our bags and ourselves as we slipped and sloshed our way to the hostel.
Since then I've had some excellent pearl milk tea, and I've discovered that almond milk does not satisfy one's thirst.
