    Woke up in time for hostel breakfast today, and saw the walking tour group for the day heading off; They made them do the Macarena as a warmup. That didn’t happen yesterday, and I’m not sure whether I feel that I’ve missed out. Ended up sitting next to one of the folks from my dormitory,…

    At 1am local time, hotel reservations for the Origins Game Fair opened. I set an alarm, but I think I messed it up by trying to set one that was just the vibrate function on my phone with no noise, because I slept right through it. Fortunately I woke up about 20 minutes later anyway,…

    Didn’t really get to sleep until after midnight. Being able to sprawl out was great, and having air-conditioning & a fan running made for a comfortable night. That said, it had been a stressful day, and I’d not slept well the previous night, so I didn’t exactly wake up feeling my best. Got a better…

    I could have slept better. There’s some nerves from the upcoming flights, & Vietnam in general, plus the headache of the last few days kept coming back. I’d done most of the packing last night, leaving myself without much to do but throw the last few things in my bag & make sure I hadn’t…

    Yesterday took a fair bit out of me, so today was more of a quiet one. Went outside of Chinatown for breakfast, primarily because the place I’d planned to go to wasn’t open, and I only remembered the places on the other side of the station when it was too late & I was already…

  • Runny Eggs & the Night Zoo (ok, Night Safari, but I wanted to make a Night Court reference)

    As a very cautious dip of a toe into Singaporean cuisine, I tried the traditional breakfast – Toast with coconut jam, very runny eggs with white pepper & soy sauce, and coffee with condensed milk.Did this at a food court so that if I hated it, I wouldn’t be observed by the people who made…

    I had a vague plan to go to the Night Safari this evening, but by around midday I noticed that I felt a bit … off … so flagged that idea in favour of a more relaxed day. And I’m happy with how it turned out. I’d headed out to get a lunch of some…

    A bit of a slow start, but that seems to be a feature these days. I was eventually driven out of bed by a message from the hotel asking if I wanted my room tidied up today, so I had to get all of the crap I was storing next to my bed out of…

    It was a good day, even though it didn’t go to plan, and I suspect had some of my favourite moments of the trip so far;
