Saw this airport once, coming back from Indonesia to Holland, was still exactly the same as in my memories. Fun :)
Oh well, got in line to get a cab, because apparently there's about a 100 people trying to get a cab in the middle of the night from the airport into Singapore city center...I got the address I was supposed to go from Jess, but the taxi-driver didn't seem to speak too much English, so I ended up in the parking garage, exactly as predicted. Good luck finding the entrance - thanks cabguy!! Warm welcome by Sean and Jessica and then off to bed, seeing as it was in the middle of the night and I was still trying to neglect jet-lag :)
The following days were all well spent with a flurry of activities, starting off with a bushwalk through the Singaporian rainforest (no mosquitoes, and in the middle of the city) including monkey-attacks, giant lizards, swaying bridges and a dinner on the side of the river with Chinese lanterns all around. And that's just ONE day...
Spent the next day discovering Chinatown with Jess, and the day after exploring Little India (both suburbs), gotta love the diversity they have around here, all sorts of temples and religions, even art-deco buildings, and monkeys, monkeys :)
On to botanical gardens, the Merlion (the national symbol of Singapore) and a Dali-exhibit in a crashed UFO (well it sure looks like one...) When it was dark up to the 41st floor to take some pictures of the skyline, and then off to bed, as the taxi would be waiting on me at 4:15 the following morning - which it wasn't so I called a new one. Was in time for my flight though :)
