Just some stuff I want to share with you
As the title already suggests: today it rained in Singapore.
And you know what: it’s so wet that I can’t even get to the mall that’s across the road of my hotel (that’s about 50 meters or so) without getting wetter than when taking a shower.

The locals have a solution: you stay inside where the air conditioner compensates for all that!

My travel agent already solved the “what to do” issue: they booked me on the 3.5 hours “Experience the City” tour.

This is a first time: I have bought a business class ticket to and from Australia and therefore I get all this luxury: use of the lounge, good meals, a lot of space and perfect service. So it’s going to be like heaven, with angels and all…
