Cambodia
2nd Oct 2024
Singapore Airport
A very early start - I checked out before 5:30am! Collected a takeaway breakfast which I had some of before the same taxi driver as yesterday took me to the airport through the empty streets of early Singapore. The airport was busy enough, and I managed the highly automated baggage drop and immigration control. Very advanced. Puzzled by the fur coats some passengers heading for Cambodia are wearing? And I thought the place was hot? I'm not prepared for a sudden winter! A Japanese girl seemed to arrive riding her luggage as if it was a scooter, it had an on off switch. Perhaps I ought to get something like a Modobag. A 2 hours flight ending in the most complicated entry through an airport this holiday. One needed the helpful staff to work out how to complete the entry application. It was touch and go positioning the iPhone so the immigration office could photograph what was on screen! Happily he was happy in the end, and my luggage appeared rapidly on the carousel! A drive past water buffaloes and spindly cows grazing freely and rice paddies and food stalls which had like hammocks for people to eat at. Motorbikes and tuk-tuks weaving past. It's a festival day here apparently.
