Travel diary on May 1, 2013

I checked the hotel out and was waiting for a shuttle bus which had been scheduled to leave the hotel at 7:00.
But, a staff said the bus would leave at 7:10.
At 7:10, a Chinese woman asked the staff when the shuttle bus would depart for the airport. The staff said '7:30'. Then, she requested the staff to drive her to the airport. And, the other 4 passengers including me joined her plan.
As she requested, we went to the airport by the staff's car.

At Soekarno Hatta Airport, I finished procedures to board an aircraft for Singapore.

This is the shop where I purchased souvenirs

While I was waiting for departure, two Japanese passengers came to the same lobby. They are the first Japanese people since I left this airport 2 days before.

I took off the airport for Singapore.
When I arrived at Singapore Changi Airport, I ran to MRT station. I completed all SMRT lines and SBS North East Line.

I had lunch at a Taiwanese restaurant near Pasir Ris. When I entered the restaurant, a staff said "歓迎光臨". As I expected, she couldn't understand what I said in English. I ordered noodle with chicken ribs by pointing out the dish in the menu.

At Little India, I wanted to go to a restaurant serving Indian cuisine, because I couldn't go there when I go to Little India in 2010.
I found an Indian restaurant whose customers were completely Indian people. I ordered fried Thai rice and curry. What made me surprised was that fork and spoon accompanied my dish, while an Indian customer ordered the same dish without fork nor spoon. He ate the dish by his hand.
Probably, a staff in the restaurant considered my cultural background.

I went to Changi Airport.
