Bye-Bye Bombay, Hello Singapore!

After staying nine days in Bombay, I've left in the worst possible condition. An hour before we were scheduled to leave for the airport, my stomach started rumbling; something commonly known as 'Dehli Belly', or in my case, 'Bombay Belly'. I contemplated rescheduling my flight, but then thought, eh, let's just go, how bad could it be? Of course, as soon as we hit the road, we're stuck in traffic. Let me assure you, being stuck in a car, in the middle of the expressway, in the slums of India, with a rumbling stomach, has got to be one of the worst feelings ever. Three terrible hours later, we boarded the plane.

I woke up in exotic Singapore. The airport was nice, the roads smooth, and the weather was beautiful (although a bit humid). I'm staying with a friend in, what I could only describe as, the most magnificent house I've ever seen. There is a pond of fish (yes, a pond, not a fish tank) in the middle of the living room to welcome you as soon as you enter the front door. What a great final destination for my around-the-world trip.
