Feel good to be passing through here as this airport was a little bit like my old 'hideout' for over three years in the 80's when I was under the employ of Singapore Airlines...
These days, no matter how many times I come to Changi International, I always leave impressed...
Imagine, according to the information leaflet, this airport has about 500 internet terminals... free for use for travellers...
Compare this to our Kuala Lumpur International... pathetic...
Anyway, am now on transit to Penang, after which we shall take a taxi all the way back to my village in Kedah...
Was at Bali for about 10 days, scuba diving at Tulamben...
Did almost twenty dives, of which about half were at the Liberty Wreck...
Good as it is, was getting a bit sick of the same dive site and the herds of divers...
Good that our dive guide suggested Kubu and Seraya...
Muck diving at Seraya was particulary fun as there were lots of unusual creatures that I saw for the first time...
Overall, Bali was very nice... the general atmosphere, the friendliness of the local folks... the local food...
And we were lucky to stay at a very private and rather luxurious 'villa'... the pool and views of the morning sun was like, just ours to enjoy...
The weather was just marvellous, dry, and cool... compared to the un-earthly temperatures of Japan at the moment...
Spent 2 days or so at Kuta before departure...
But this place is... ooh, not too good a place to chill out... too many touts and taxi drivers honking to offer you a ride...
Our last trip to Bali was in 1983, about 25 years ago...
If we live long enough, we shall be back in 25 years' time...
