On My Way

All is well so far here at Singapore Airport. First, the plane was on time out of Siem Reap so that in itself puts this trip at a higher success rate than the one from TO.
I was given my Siem Reap and Singapore boarding passes while still in Cambodia, and it was suggested I pick up my London one here in Singapore. At the desk I was served by an awesome employee by the name of Colorado Cherry Rose, so I'm all sorted for flights.
After a few thousand tries at international calls, I've chatted to my friend Matthew in London and set up plans to meet in Leicester Square at half nine tomorrow. Still allows me some time at Heathrow since I get in at 5:45 am - yeesh!
And finally, upon using the fancy shmancy washrooms here in Singapore, I was elated to be able to put the toilet paper in the toilet again...
We don't do this in Cambodia. I wish I could have uploaded photos because when you enter a Cambodian bathroom there is the toilet, a garbage bin or a little baggy hanging on one wall, and a small hose hanging on the other - similar to the ones we have on our sinks at home.
I know you can put the rest together. It takes a while to get used to, but that is the way of things. So, the fancy bathroom here is the first step back to reality.

Here's hoping the rest is as smooth. I've got a middle seat for this 14 hour flight coming up so bring on the free in flight Singapore Slings.
