Koi carp and butterflies

You have to admire an airport that has fish ponds and rooms of butterflies to entertain their guests. Singapore airport .... if you have to have a stopover, this is the right place to chose.

Butterfly in Singapore

Koi

Wide awake on a long haul flight

Note to self:  If you have a late night long haul flight:
#1 don't drink a strong coffee the afternoon before and
#2 don't drink a beer in the airport before take off to help you sleep.

#1 + #2 = "shattered in Singapore"

Orchids in Singapore Airport

Singapore airport

Where oh where are the orchids gone? Singapore airport was synonymous with orchids for me ... but not any more. Probably they are still there, but not in the new terminal. Instead there is a room full of butterflies...

 

a 'relaxing Koi pond'...

 

and quite a few leg and foot massage machines. Two nine year olds were trying it on their three year old brother and finding that his legs were too short. But they told me it was good ... so I tried it, and they were right.
