9 Hours in Singapore


On the way to Melbourne, we had a nine hour layover in Singapore.  I doubt there is a better airport than Changi International to be stuck in for nine hours.  Anyone with more than five hours until their flight can sign up for a free city tour.  We boarded a tour bus and were driven around the city for about an hour.  Back in the airport, we explored all of the gardens: the orchid garden, the butterfly garden, the sunflower garden, and the cactus garden.  We found the "rub art" center, grabbed some crayons and paper and created masterpieces.  Changi also has a movie theater, a swimming pool, video games (even Wii), and sleeping rooms.  It's practically impossible to get bored at Changi International.  Having had no western food for weeks, we had Subway for lunch and Burger King for dinner.  Burger King has never tasted so good.  Before we knew it, we were boarding our overnight flight to Australia.
