In Singapore

[theducks]

We made to Singapore! Huzzah! We flew on 9V-SKE, the 5th Airbus A380 in commercial service. Oh well. Oh, and it was FULL. No spare seats at all.

Got to hotel, and as described by lizbyrd initially got put in a pretty crappy twin single room, but were able to shower and sleep at least. They told us to come down after we had slept and they would see what they had available.

After napping, I had a chat to the shift manager who was at the desk, and she put us in a double room. Upon heading up to the room, it seems it is a premier club king room. On the 21st floor. This room is 5 stars plus. It's about the size of our living room. I'm really impressed. It's surprising that they have both 5 and 2 star rooms in the one hotel.

Anyway, this is awesome.

How long are you there for?

Fancy picking up some toys for me?

we're here until the 25th but our duty free allowance (and baggage) is full, we can buy stuff and post it back if you're interested.. let me know what you're after and a target price and we can see what we can do.

i found that apple gear is pretty much the same price the world over. something about price fixing...

It's worse than that.. the iPods are currently priced on a AUD=USD$0.90 basis. And it's now what.. 70c? Singapore's slightly higher prices now suck with a dollar on parity, instead of $1.30. Gah.

We're after a new iPod Touch 32GB, and have worked out that it will cost AUD$100 MORE to buy it here.

Bugger. I was hoping the exchange would have favoured us.

Oh well to the AU apple store then...

you usually get club access with those rooms too, which includes free drinks and nibblies at cocktail hour, and coffee and softdrinks throughout the day. check it out! often there's free internet too.
