Day 6

Singapore Airlines is great, as one of the fireman had told me it would be. Before we took off they came around with hot towels and blankets and slippers, and newspapers. There was wifi on the plane but this particular plane had no outlets at the economy class seats, some of the other models do. . Each seat has a tv in the seat in front, and via the remote you can choose between 80 movies, 105 tv shows, listen to 180 cds, or play 91 games. So I was pretty set. I think over the whole trip I watched Taxi Driver, a video about Bangkok, Arrested Development, Scrubs, The Office, 16 blocks and Lucky Number Slevin. I played some chess and listened to Massive Attack and Gnarls Barkley. There was also a flight tracker where you could see where the plane was and weather conditions and such. That was very cool to check in occasionally and see which countries we were flying over. The food was really good and they feed you pretty often. Before meals they would come around with hot towels, and at some point they brought toothbrushes and toothpaste. It took about 7 hours to get to Germany where I had a layover for a little bit. Nothing really to say about Frankfurt airport, lots of smokers. Took another 12 hours to get to the Singapore airport, which was amazing. Basically it would be like if they built DFW around The Stonebriar Mall. Lots of shops, a free movie theatre, free internet stations the works. Very clean and modern. For longer layovers they have a free tour of the city that takes about 2 hours. Huge airport but they have moving walkways just about anywhere you need to walk so its easy to navigate.
