Your roving reporter in Asia

We're currently in Changi Airport, Singapore, taking advantage of the free internet access.

Both of us are really sore from the first leg. It is physically impossible to sleep in economy class seats. I think I got about 15 minutes sleep by lifting up the arm rest, putting a pillow on the end and resting my head on that.

If you fly Singapore Airlines and confirm your flight online, don't bother with printing the boarding passes. They don't work in the machines at the gate (at least not in Brisbane). They gave us proper boarding passes before they started loading us on.

We've got about another 3 hour wait here before flying on to Hanoi. Boy a bed is going to feel really good by then.
