I also made a short strip to Victoria state. I went to the countryside at Shepparton where my aunt lives with her husband and made a half day tour of Melbourne. Oh! 1 week was not enough at Victoria. And definitely half day is not enough for Melbourne!
Anyway, my first stop from Manila was Singapore. I boarded a Singapore Airlines flight to Perth with a stop-over to Changi Airport.
I was so excited and looked forward to my stop over. Changi is so nice! I almost missed my flight walking around the airport. Hehe! It was so obvious that I came from a third world, icky airport (sorry NAIA).
I do hope they will do an impressive job at the NAIA overhaul. I do not expect it to be as good as Changi, but a big improvement is expected.
They have pocket gardens around the airport. See pics below:
