Singapore one last time

Well, I have arrived safely in Singapore for my night stop and will head to the airport around noonish for my 4pm flight--I stored one of my bags that is filled with my suits for the price of 5 bucks for 24 hours--and I need to do some repacking/sorting of materials.

I had a lot of fun last night in Saigon--I'll talk about details later, but let's just say I'm glad that my flight didn't leave until 3pm this afternoon.

Brief rants:
I fully expect airport markups no matter where I go--but the airport markups in vietnam and cambodia in the international terminals are absurd to the point of highway robbery. Prices are easily 4 times greater than what you would see in the street, and it stinks of one giant cash grab before you leave the country.

Other absurd cost: ATM fees. In some cases, they weren't that bad ($1 or so), but in Thailand, they were an astronomical 150 baht per withdrawal (just under 5 dollars).

I can confidently declare that the phenomenon of "body at the airport, brain left at home" is not isolated to the U.S.--it occurs everywhere. Even in Vietnam, although, to be fair, the offenders weren't Vietnamese, they were Singaporean and should know better. One extended family causing problems/delays at check-in--of course, I was behind them--and being borderline disruptive to the point where I thought the flight attendants were going to throw some of them off the airplane.

Also, if your toddler is unhappy or sick or hurt, do not under any circumstances take them onto an airplane. Your fellow passengers will tremendously appreciate the favor--a kid shrieked for the last 20 minutes flying into Singapore--some of the loudest screaming I've ever heard on an airplane.
