Kuala Luimpur: October 24, 14:34

Yes, I know that Kuala Lumpur was not on the itinerary but guess what: Our flight from LA to Singapore was cancelled due to engine trouble and so all 160 people were rerouted on Air Malaysia via Taipei to Kuala Lumpur. So we will arrive in Singapore at about 6pm today just 4 hours behind our original schedule. Having been to Singapore and Hong Kong before and seen how efficient things operate in this part of the world I had very high expectations. But Singapore Airlines did way better than I expected, in fact apart from the original problem which can happen at any time their planning and performance were superb. Tired but on track. More when I get some sleep.
