Flying to Manila

I love flying on Singapore Airlines. Theyre not that different to most other full service airlines but I love how they give you hot face towels every four hours or so. Something so simple and perhaps easily cut out in these financial times, makes such a difference when you feel nice and (relatively) refreshed after pasting a smouldering hot wet towel on to your face. Mmm...steamy.

I had never flown over Singapore during the day so this in itself was an interesting experience. Thousands boats, fishing boats and oil tankers mostly, led the way into the harbor which surrounds thousands of high rise apartment buildings. As far as you can see, the whole place is full of apratments. Apparently theres no space to build any houses here??

Upon closer inspection, the immediate area around the airport is immaculately kept. The streets are kept clean and very neatly presented. We landed in Terminal 3 this time and this terminal seems to be newer than the others and the nicest of them all.

A quick skytrain to Terminal 2 and we were on our way to the second leg to Manila.
