Back at Changi waiting to board. Long flight ahead.

I think I saw cherry trees blooming in Japan. The airport had these trees all around it that were covered in something which, from a distance, looked like blossoms. We had to go down to the runway, get on a bus, and get bused to the main terminal. Needless to say, the trees were not on the runways but outside of them.

I'm also confused. I started out in Saigon on Thursday, flew to Singapore, slept, got up ungodly early, on Friday, April 8, then flew through the night, and ended up stuck on April 8th. Is this like groundhog's day (The Movie)? This day seems to be going on forever. Or is it the two Thursday nights that are making me so tired? ;-)
