Got to Singapore easy enough. No trouble getting out of the airport and catching a taxi to the hotel. Once there I had a lovely hot shower and slept on a really comfy bed, such a change to India. Nepal wasn't so bad. I really enjoyed the people, the massage and the food. Sleeping was a problem though.
