Arrival/Singapore airport



Singapore airport proved an interesting 4hr stopover.  It has a walking tour connecting various small parks, including a butterfly house and sunflower rooftop garden (the latter that was unfortunately moonlighting as a smoker’s garden).  There are various interactive exhibits where you can practice rubbings (the stall was secondarily advertising a paper with green credentials, interesting given the amount of discarded paper it seemed to be generating), and a science learning station. Even fire hydrants were treated with respect. Melbourne airport needs to get its act together.  After six hours in the air, the aircraft starts on a slow circle around a sprawling metropolis, its thousand upon thousand lights burning below.
