30 September – Singapore Changi Airport<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What do you do to kill time for 13 hours?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, I’m at Changi airport where there are plenty of facilities for transit travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrived at Terminal 1 with Singapore Airlines at 5.50am, and took a free SkyTrain to Terminal 2. Here I had a booking with the Ambassador Transit Lounge for a 6 hour nap room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took advantage of the facilities included in my booking. Refreshing shower, napped for hours and had a buffet lunch. They provide a towel, toothbrush\/toothpaste, room slippers and a clean single bed. It was really good and refreshing after an 8 hour flight and helped me kill time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only downside of the nap rooms are you can hear everything around you! If someone is snoring or moving around, because the walls don’t reach the ceiling. Luckily I brought ear plugs. Lifesaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than that, everything is exactly what you need. The food was really good at the buffet too! Definitely try the seafood stew if you are into seafood. I’m glad I booked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that’s 6 hours, I’m still trying to kill the time now. I finally tried a Singapore Sling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Singapore Airlines app I was able to check on the progress of my luggage for peace of mind. I also can check my boarding pass and any delays, as well as the in flight menu. Seeing as they will serve dinner on the 6.30pm flight I won’t bother buying dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I’ve noticed most about Singapore Changi airport is that most of the food is pretty westernized. I’d imagine because they have a lot of international transit patrons, but as I write this I sit next to a dunkin donut \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m so keen to get to Kathmandu and Paro! Seeing as I’ve been in Singapore before, the feeling is familiar. I still have no idea of the culture shock I’m in for yet. Feeling very content to be traveling there right now, can’t wait to experience something completely new!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
