I'm posting this on Wednesday afternoon from Singapore, where it is very hot! We arrived safely late last night after a somewhat trying 15 hour flight. The first three hours were spent on the tarmac at Heathrow while an electrical fault with the plan was fixed by men in fluorescent jackets with a stepladder -- at one point they decided to re-boot the plane by shutting the whole machine down, resulting in about 15 minutes of total darkness on board.
So today we got up very late (Singapore time), had some milkshakes for breakfast, and went for a short walk in the heat followed by some Chinese food. Everyone here is getting geared up for Chinese New Year next week, and there are lanterns everywhere. We are now lying down for a rest before going for a swim and an early night -- our taxi is booked for 5.40 am tomorrow for the next leg of our journey.
