When I was leaving, one of the girls asked: "How today food?"
Try say this with the Singaporean accent....took me 2 mins to figure out what she said 🤣

Skip lounge as it's a very early flight.
But I regret it very soon 😖

Continental breakfast :(, oh dear.
This might be better than @Justinf 's jaffle, but seriously, wtf?!

Two hours later I was hungry, this was what they gave me:

Main was okay.
Chinese style cod with fried rice.

Out of the 3 airlines this time, CI catering was by far the best.

That's it for this TR.

I'm booked for #11 in November, let's hope everything is back to normal by then.
Haven't done a lot of planning, but probably going to the San-in coast, plus Mie.
I do change things around a fair bit during planning stage, so we shall see;)
Thanks for a very interesting and informative Trip Report. Much appreciated.
 
Great TR - you are a much, much braver traveler than I. I cancelled the Japan and Taiwan legs of my RTW about a week ago. I'm beginning to recognise myself as a bit of a hypochondriac and I just wouldn't be able to enjoy myself in those environments. Another time - and I'm loaded up with good ideas, now, thanks! :)
 
Thanks for the TR, it was very enjoyable :) Plenty of delicious food!
 
Japan TRs are always worth reading.This one definitely was.Thanks for all the information.
 
Landed at SIN about 6.30pm.
I could have taken an overnight flight and got back to MEL in the morning, but....6.5 hours is very awkward, you can't have a proper sleep, also I am not a fan of SQ's supper service 😖
So I chose to stay one night in Yotel Changi instead.

It was a long walk from T2 to Jewel...

I was curious about Yotel...

The room sorry cabin was TINY.
I knew that beforehand of course, being in it was a different matter!
Listed size is 10 sqm, I have my doubts though...
The reclining bed doubled as sofa ;)

Bathroom was surprisingly decent size.

Only other piece of furniture, if you can call that, was a foldable stool.

Different 🤔 workable for one person I guess.
 
Well that was a great TR with interesting places and food. I've spent all of about 4 days in Japan so I need to go back and do it properly. Many thanks 🥂
2023 Ashes in the UK could be the perfect opportunity to do a few weeks on the way home.

Oh I strongly recommend Japan to everyone;) It is a marvellous country with so many things to see....not to mention the food!

With the virus, things are changing so quickly... Must confess I probably will cancel if I'm booked to go in say, early April for the Sakura. Back then it was just mainland China or so I thought.
Now that Pandemic has been declared I'm not going anywhere o_O
We'll see how things turn out.

Ah yes, suppose I was travelling with mother probably would try to fly direct from TPE.
The SQ overnight between SIN and MEL is a killer though! Last time I did it, wiped out the whole morning in Singapore. I was so dead, beg hotel to let me check in at 9am and went straight to bed...:oops:
