after 20 hours of flying, i'm finally in Singapore. well, i think it was about 23-24 hours total travel time because of delays. we flew in a 747 this time. i havent been in one of those since my first trip abroad about 10 years ago. the first class/business class "looked" awesome (note the quotes)...but, since i flew coach this time around, that was by far the longest and most uncomfortable trip for me since i've been traveling. at least i had an aisle seat so i could get up when i wanted. i dont know if i can keep sacrificing my body in coach for a small incentive.
well, my first stop this trip takes me here...Singapore noted above. i forgot how nice it is here. weather is hot pretty much all year around, very clean (hence the no gum law), everyone speaks english, and first class service. maybe thats just because i stay in my hotel pretty much the whole time and i never wonder around. forgive me if i get cabin fever....i mean hotel fever. singapore always kinda reminded me of Miami. i think its just the hot humid weather, the skyscrapers, and the palm trees. definitely no cubans here though (the physical people, not the cigars)...well at least not that i know of.
i also feel very safe here. all criminal activity is strongly punished....either they give you the death penalty, they cane you, fine you, or give you very long jail time if you commit any crime. and they clearly remind you of this on the immigration form that you have to sign when you enter the country. so no gum or trafficking of gum for me to Singapore.
and a quick status update regarding the cpa exam...BEC. MUST PASS. im taking this last section on May 26th and then i'm heading out of town with someone i really like :) then my life will be free finally!! ahhhh it will be a good feeling...i hope to experience bliss!
also, Emma's 4th birthday is in 2 days (cinco de mayo)! i hate that i'm over here this year missing it. makes me numb, but i love you bunny and i miss you and think about you every day.
more to come on this trip....
