Though not as interesting as some of Matt's exploits we do try to get to S.E Asia, usually Singapore, as cheaply as possible and then travel J class onwards to Europe. For example on our trip to the German Christmas Markets last year we flew Perth to Singapore in QF Y Exit Row seats and then...

I have just entered the 'departure area' at Terminal 1 Changi and found the process no better than Perth. I still had to use my passport and give a thumb print. The main problem l have is how low the camera is. I was just about kneeling to get my face into the right area.

We only had a simple meal in a Foodcourt last night that was nothing special. Todays was fine but not special Not helped by the arrival of a noisy Chinese tour group into the small cafe halfway through our meal. I have just had a swim at the hotel and am now lying down munching on some...
