I'm in Singapore!

Hello everyone!
I made it to Singapore. It's 9:40 pm California time, 1:00 pm July 5th my time. Suffice to say, I'm totally thrown off. I remember once on the plane I was woken up to eat breakfast and I realized that they could have been serving either breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert and I wouldn't have cared. Actually, that was the second breakfast I'd had in a row.
The flight over was by far the best one I've ever had. In fact, I wouldn't be upset if it was much longer. The reason for this seemingly odd statement is that each seat back had its own entertainment unit where you could choose to watch about 50 movies (with fast forward, reverse, and pause control) play games with the computers or other passengers, get local news, watch TV shows, and listen to whatever music you want. The food was actually really good too. I even got to get a little bit of sleep. I found out that my sweatshirt (the one Mrs. Lesicka gave me) works really well to block out light, so minus the uncomfortableness of sleeping upright, I was able to get in at least one good powernap (that doesn't happen very often and I'm very grateful for it).
In about 2 more hours we are going to take a tour of Singapore. That should be really exciting since we actually get to leave the airport. It looks a bit overcast outside, and I think it is very hot, but it looks green and beautiful. Not that the airport isn't that great too. A lot of the other guys here are taking showers, and I have a voucher to get some good local food involving some sort of rice dish that should be pretty good. I would really like to try out some local food while I'm here.
God bless!
