November 3, 2006 Bye Bye Singapore =( End of our trip! =(

Whoever said Singapore was boring? Maybe we didn't stay long enough to get bored! One full day in Singapore definitely wasn't enough. But it was enough to have us think that it's a great place. Out of all the places we've travelled through during this trip, this is the only place we all said we could live in. It's almost like Vancouver, but warmer, with better transportation system, and a 6% personal tax rate if you make about $80000.

Bex tried to convince us to stay longer so we could shop with her, but no can do. Most of us had to go back to work, and needed at least a day or two to recover from the jetlag. But from what I hear, she bought 10 pairs of shoes so it doesn't sound like she had a hard time shopping after we left!

At about 9:30am, James, Chris, Wes and I left the hotel for the last time. We were on our way home. =((( So Wes and I flew to Seoul first via Singapore Airlines (SQ) and had a connecting flight to Vancouver via Air Canada. Needless to say, SQ was awesome! Service was impeccable! Each seat had it's own personal TV with your choice of 80 movies to watch! The seats fully recline so they're flat like a bed! And then we got onto the AC plane and it was a whole different story. Plane was old. They had to give you a portable DVD player if you wanted to watch movies. And the service?! We basically got ignored by the attendants even though we were on first class. OK so we were dressed like bums, but hey they didn't have to ignore us! I mean we used points, but we coulda paid good money for our seats and deserve better service!

Anyway, we landed back in Vancouver safe and sound. Overall, this trip has been a blast. I feel very lucky - not only to have been able to go on this trip, but to go with all my good friends as well. Trips like this will be few and far in between from now on, I'm sure. So it was nice to get one in before everyone starts having babies!

So till our next trip....... See you in Europe in 07!
