I have landed in the Soup. Say what you will about this place, you gotta give kudos to Changi airport - 15 minutes from deplaning to cab. Was expecting to wait for my bags - nope, merrily halfway down the conveyor belt along with its fellow passengers. And I got to use the completely passportless lane for citizens/residents.. it's almost freakishly fast (like 2 seconds total kind of fast). A good reminder of how biometrics are harder to hack than a passport. They probably have every inch of my face mapped out.
Anyway, can't wait to have a big sumptuous dinner and then crash early. I finished the last 5% of Overstory on the plane and got all riled up about what my life has become. Then I reread Howl's Moving Castle because I had it on my Kindle. Now I feel less cynical.
Yay! Enjoy the soup time.
yay, you arrived safely
hope your stay is joyous ๐
Yay soup!!
That airport is a wild experience. Hope your dinner was absolutely delicious!
