It took me 45 minutes to get through Immigration on my way out of India - for some reason they insisted on questioning every Indian national (including expatriates). After 6 weeks in the Third World it was truly a pleasure to arrive in Singapore for the night. It is clean but above all efficient - I was through immigration and customs, with all my luggage and having changed money, in about 15 minutes after landing. The hotel has a shuttle service. After paying through the nose for the hotel in Kovalam I can truly say that the Meridien in Singapore is worth every penny. They opened up the business centre for me at 7 on a Saturday evening and did not charge me for Internet usage.
Perhaps not the best experience to have, however, just before heading back to the Third World in the form of Vietnam, the part of the trip about which I was most apprehensive…
