Street Market in Singapore

As already written. I was once again in Singapore. The reason is the usual. The visa will, this time for Indonesia extended,. So a day trip to Singapore. 6:15 clock is the plane from Jakarta. The flight takes just over an hour. This is one hour shift. Although Singapore is located almost exactly on the same longitude as Jakarta has, nevertheless, together with Malaysia, a different time zone. The same as the Philippines and China. This results in Singapore for almost a year-round summer time when it becomes as bright and dark. Not exactly at 6 as usual at the equator usual.
So. Around 9 I'm in Singapore. I went by train to the city. The first goal is Bugis. The largest street market of Singapore. A few rounds of shot and then I was already caught the hungry. I've searched on the street market, then what appropriate.

Views of the Strait of Malacca

After dinner in the Orchard Road. I Been, but what the heck. The weather was very pleasant. About. 25 degrees and light winds. So very tolerable. Later, but still something new look. The Singapore Flyer. That, by its own account, the highest observation wheel in the world. 156 meters. The journey takes 30 minutes. I only had a little concern that I have a long queue, but it was not a problem. Once paid and entered. A great view of the city. The ferris wheel is located on the start and finish at the pit lane and the Formula 1 circuit of Singapore. In addition, at the southernmost point of the Asian continent. Theoretically, one can then overland from Berlin to come here. It has a wonderful view over the Straits of Malacca and sees the opposite islands of Indonesia.
There were no problems. Not like 3 days later (see last article). Perhaps the failure 3 days later was also only a late effect due to my use today? Who knows?
When I had the round behind me, I've looked around a little in the shops below. Actually, I wanted to buy something to drink. As I expressed jemenad an advertising paper in his hand. Fish Spa 30 minutes with 10 minutes shoulder massage. "Fish Spa" Curious as I am, I have to look at me. So enter the store. It works like this: It depends on his feet in a basin full of small fish and they then start abzuknappern the old skin cells and the like. Well, I just probiers times. The feet first washed (we will not kill the fish, yes) and then clean it in the water. After a few moments, the legs are surrounded by small fish (about the size of your little finger). Of the legs in the crowd to see anything more. The whole feels about like fallen asleep at his feet. But with some effort it is to endure. Besides, a little shoulder massage. After about 15 minutes I asked the lady if I do not want to keep my feet sometimes in the pelvis with the larger fish. That would be a real surprise. I. I also try really hard but das. Wirds. It tickles like hell. On the legs still HERE. But on the feet! On the soles of the feet, it is unbearable. I put my feet on the bottom of the pool so that the rankommen not there. It's still not easy to endure the whole. It does not hurt, but it tickles like hell! Perhaps you may have formerly used as a method of torture and I paid for it too.
Now I wanted to make their way to the airport.

737-Simulator

In the 737 simulator

Since Fiehl my view something else on a shop window. Boeing. Aircraft models. I'm also a look. How do I know drinne, not just models. There is a Boeing 737 flight simulator. Still Beser: This thing is not busy. Price includes video of their flight for 30 minutes: 170 Singapore dollars (about 85 €). I am still with. After a short briefing we go. First start of Sydney. A flight out to sea. Views of the harbor bridge and opera house. A turn and go back to the airport. Landing goes well. Praise from the captain. Then some more time. He asks where I would like to Fly there once. The old airport of Hong Kong seemed a little too difficult. I asked whether TXL (Berlin Tegel) in the offer was. Of course. There are all the airports in the world. The captain told me that he sit in the 70s for British Airways flew into Tempelhof. His proposal thus: Start from Tegel and Tempelhof landing. I thought that a landing at Tempelhof mot a 737 would be a little difficult, but he said: No problem. Go on. Start the west. The scenery is very good. Links Siemesstadt. The bell tower of Building 1 Then Spandau. Curve to the left of the Havel and the city center. Goldelse, Tiergarten, the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, train, Palace of the Republic (ne, no city castle!), Dom, TV Tower, ..... Everything is there! At 2,000 feet (600 meters) above the TV tower to the east. Then a curve to the right. Links of Müggelseedamm is seen. Then it goes on and Wuhlheide Karlshorst toward Tempelhof. The landing there actually works without problems. Without the autopilot and on sight. The only help is the automatic brake that performs immediately after putting on the brakes. With the help of reverse thrust, we can get the bird still on the runway for.
Now it gets in a hurry. I have a real plane! By taxi about 15 minutes. $ 20. I scraped together my last coin. $ 16 and some cents. Do I just pay by card. Somehow, the driver will not. Funny: "We accept all major credit cards." He asks how much cash I have since. I gave him show you. He says that's okay. Well, since I do not discuss long. From the plane.
