The Frugal Traveller Wanna-be

As soon as I pass the custom, I stared at the directory, found the "you are here" arrow and quickly figure out the direction to the nearest pub. found it, disspointed that it was actually closed.

4:49 am in Changi Airport. Being 3 hours early for my flight, I have the luxury of time, exploring the airport, observing people. Curiousity of a cat.

Like you would expect to see frustrated transitors in airports, they are all over the place, in most awkward positions, on plastic chairs, carpeted floor, tiny sofas in movie lounge trying to catch up with sleep, while keeping half-an eye on their over stuffed hand carries. Knowing that I will be boarding a flight which will only take 45 minutes before the plane lands again, I envy these people.

Putting their bad hairs, soar backs and jet lags aside, there is nothing more exciting than being in an airport, waiting for that flight that will take you to new places. to newer opportunities.
