"First flight since St. Petersburg" When I went to the airport around 1 PM, Matt joined me. My plane left around 8 PM, his the next morning. He was spending the night at the airport, just like I was intending to do the day before. When we arrived we went to the information desk to collect out free Wi-Fi passwords.

The country is known as one of the four Asian Tigers, and it is one of the largest transport and business hubs in South East Asia.

We checked the first hostel we could find, knowing that it could not be too expensive since we were in the outskirts of Chinatown. The hostel we entered was very dirty, and the smell was not too good, but it was about as cheap as we had heard it was possible to get, so we took the room.
