Jetlag...Just Walk It Off!

Our flight to San Fran was delayed for fog so we nearly missed our connection to Korea and had to run through the airport to find our flight. But we made it. The flight to Seoul and then to Singapore was with Singapore air and was so long, but pretty luxurious. We got complimentary socks and a toothbrush, and lots of food which was surprisingly good. On takeoff and before landing they handed out hot face clothes which were initially very confusing, until we looked around and watched everyone else wipe their faces with them.

Dee and Dale's place is great, and they are really nice. Dee took us for a tour of the city yesterday. First we went to an outdoor market and checked out all of the hawker stands and shops, I stubbed my big toe and took a nice chunk of skin off (very fun trying to keep clean). We bought big bags of mangosteen, lychee and rambutan to take home (3kg for S$5).

Next we took the MRT to Arab street where we shared a delicious platter of hummus, babaganush and other Arab delicacies. All three of us were stuffed for just S$15. Dee also showed us here favorite building in Singapore, which is actually an office building but looks like a huge gothic tower from Batman's Gotham City. It is surrounded by bronze statues of historic figures and inside it is reminiscent of a cathedral with painted ceilings and works of art everywhere you look. The loby turns into a bar at night where the bartenders have to be lifted up by a pully system to grab bottles of wine from the 30 ft tall, floor to ceiling wine rack.

Today we are venturing out on our own, to find the university for Kaela's registration and the immigration building to get my visa.

So far singapore is amazing and feels ripe for adventure. Stay tuned for further updates.

Love,
Jonny and Kaela
