@adampnathan Arrival and departure times were also bad. Arrive SIN at 5:15 a.m.? Way too early. Flight to YVR leaves Singapore at 7 a.m. So get to the airport at 4:30 a.m.? A one-stop is more comfortable.

@Ajarncom Maybe get a window seat next time. Economy will feel better than anywhere in the middle section. And if the flight is long enough, it’s the best place to sleep.

Looks like authoritarian rule has arrived in Sri Lanka after the incredible Parliament vote for a PM the public doesn’t want. President flexes muscles.

@travelfish Sounds like the quarantine is over for all vaccinated travelers. The tests are still a hassle. And it’s a strange requirement for $100,000 of travel insurance. I have insurance through work. Not sure what the value of it is. So still obstacles.

putin has delivered the most terrifying speech geopolitically of the 21st century

@travelfish Not a beautiful pool but perhaps a good use of otherwise wasted space.

“Rather than form nations that looked ever backward into history with a dangerous nostalgia, we chose to look forward to a greatness none of our
many nations and peoples had ever known. We rejected irredentism and expansionism on any basis. We reject it again today.”

Putin just put Kafka & Orwell to shame: no limits to dictator's imagination, no lows too low, no lies too blatant, no red lines too red to cross.

What we witnessed tonight might seem surreal for democratic world. But the way we respond will define us for the generations to come.

#Bali reopens but it sounds like there’s still a five-day quarantine for foreign visitors. I’d like to visit but not if I have to quarantine.

Incredible thought that northern Sumatra hub Medan could get Indonesian government OK for an airport that rivals Singapore/KL in volume.
Economic boost’d be phenomenal, but imagine the effect culturally on conservative Islamic-law Aceh province?
Let’s hope
