Singapore airlines from Melbourne to Singapore
At 3:30am I arose from the mattress on my floor and set off through the damp city in the hopes of making it to the bus station without getting attacked by a machete wielding drunken youth on a high powered electric bike. This went ok, there were a couple of close calls where I crossed to the other side of the road.
Thankfully I had timed the bus well with no wait at all, photo evidence below that I am a man of the unwashed masses and always take a bus to the airport, even though they have broken down for me in the past.
The 4am bus ride lived up to expectations, one previous departure there was a fight, today there were a bunch of guys watching videos of people being murdered in what they considered to be amusing ways with the sound turned up full on their phones. They seemed to enjoy the guy being fed alive to a crocodile somewhere the best.
Thankfully, the airport experience was very smooth, no last minute announcements about jet fuel being unavailable, no lines, and broccoli for breakfast.
It will be a 7.5 hour flight to Singapore, presumably we will fly around Tropical Cyclone Narelle, although going straight through might provide some entertainment.
The flight will almost certainly be full, as Singapore is now the main way to go to Europe unless you really want to get Hormuz'd.
The aforementioned bus. Not my head. Each trip I try to outdo myself with boring photos to start this whole thing so that anyone who arrives here via accident immediately leaves. The only actual humans that visit my website presumably get here because the AI that steals all my content is broken for the day and search engine results accidentally direct people to a website.
Melbourne airport still has the pandas. The whole international terminal is being replaced or rebuilt or given a coat of paint, depending on who you believe. I expect the pandas will go. Children love to climb on them despite the signs telling you not to.
The lounges are all in the basement, which is a spooky place early in the morning, with most of the escalators broken, some of the lounges closed down, random piles of broken chairs, but it has nice carpet. More on carpet later (probably).
And then it was time for a great breakfast, broccoli, potatoes and mushrooms. I was very appreciative.
The end for now
