So I fannied around longer at Changi than I had planned -- a combination of browsing the internet and trying to find the left luggage place. After a few bouts of paranoia concerned with remembering my passport and boarding pass, I did get rid of my bags and officially enter Singapore.
The cab ride downtown was snail like as were were caught up in the Friday night rush hour traffic. Eventually I made it to the Merchant Court Hotel and then it was a short walk from there to Brewerkz. I had a couple of swift pints as I beat the 8pm happy hour deadline and then set off for Lau Pa Sat.
The satays this time were much better than the ones when I was here at the start of May. I gobbled down my 20 sticks in no time. I'd also ordered a plate of 'mixed vegetables' -- got to have my '5 a day' -- but decided against the the normal fried rice option. With dinner over it was time to get back to the airport which is where I'm writing this from.
Singapore really is the ideal stopover location, even if it's a bit out of the way to Shanghai (but think of the extra KrisFlyer miles)!
Time for a shower and then it's the relatively short (5 1/2 hour) flight to Shanghai.
