Singapore

I'm sitting in Singapore Changi Airport right now. I got here just before 6 this morning and 5 hours later there's still another hour before my plane departs. Unfortunately my connection counted as second booking so I had to go through Singaporean immigration, and then I couldn't re-enter the departure area until 2 hours before my flight. So I spent 4 hours napping in front of the check in desks. I took a step outside and the oppressive humidity reminded me of Houston. But now only 4 hours and I'll be in Hanoi. Then tomorrow I take a series of buses and a ferry to Ha Long Bay for another week of climbing :). 

I had an awesome time in Perth with Kat and Alex, the siblings I stayed with. It was great to relax and not to have to worry about anything after 3 weeks of camping and rationing food from grocery trips haha. I also hung out with the Kelly's, some old British family friends from Houston. They were kind enough to invite me for dinner and drive me to the airport on my last night. 

I also caught up with the news as I had free time and Internet. Interesting to see how much Romney caught up after the first debate, though I think most pollers still give Obama an advantage in the electoral college though; 62 to 38 or roundabouts were the odds I read. We'll see what happens after the second debate though.
