Singapore and transit day.

Singapore hotel. goodwoods park.

Safely tucked  away in my room at the Goodwoods Park Hotel.  It is an old  2 story colonial anachronism  in a concrete and glass 50 story world  

I checked my bag today.  But it arrived. My plug adapters work. This is huge.  I am having Tiger Beer for dinner. My hotel seems to be fine, but the Tokyo Station Hotel ruined all other hotels for me. It’s all good.

Amazing light – South China Sea. from the plane.

Some notes while enroute to Singapore.

Going to Singapore. I haven’t been to Singapore in 50 years. This will be all new for me.  I am guessing/hoping that it will be easier than Tokyo was. For an old person Tokyo is like being a really old person. You can not understand what people are telling you. Never mind that they are being really nice. You can not read signs. Or newspapers. Everything goes too fast. Everything is harder than it used to be.  
 
Don’t get me wrong I am glad that I did Tokyo. And, I hope I get go come back to Japan. Remembering that “nobody is promised tomorrow”. 
 
The flight was about an hour late leaving.  They blamed it on the rain. And it was pouring this morning. Those of you who travel more than I do may have seen this. But I hadn’t. The Japanese are very orderly. They really know how to queue up. My flight had thee queues: Regular boarding, Business class boarding, and Priority boarding. The longest line was Priority boarding. And nobody seems to use their phone for boarding passes. Also, people don’t seem to print their own boarding passes.
 
Hopefully I will not regret this but, I checked my bag.  I was happy to not have to get it through security.  I will be happier if it arrives in Singapore.figure that while a wait for my bag I can try to understand the local transit system.
 
I am looking forward to Singapore. In the short run, I am looking forward to lunch and a nap.  And some downtime on the plane.
 
Had a fine little nap. And a coffee. Getting excited about Singapore. Which will happen in 55 minutes
 
Starting to look a little frayed around the wedges.
