We've arrived! We got in, very bleary eyed, at 9am this morning Melbourne time. So far things are going our way: Our hotel let us check in early so we could take a quick nap before setting out on errands. We found a suit for Mark's interview tomorrow (he looks hot!). Mark got a haircut. I bought a new coat, scarf, and gloves (it's winter here). We both got new sim cards for our phones, the phone numbers will be e-mailed to relatives tomorrow (probably). So, all the goals for the day have been completed.
It still doesn't feel like we're here long term though, maybe after a few days it will sink in.

Such sweet sorrow. Everything is packed, thrown away, given away, or mailed. We just had the final inspection of apartment and got the full deposit back (yay!). At the airport now, waiting for our flight out. Hooray for free internet. I'm feeling an odd combination of melancholy and excitement.

Bye, Singapore, it's been interesting and fun.

Another list of the top 100 wonders of the modern world. I've only seen 11 from this list. Only three from the top 50. Life is short.

While Nirvana is usually my music of choice when cleaning house, a day of cleaning AND packing required something a little different. I credit Marjorie for cuing up the right thing. For future reference, The Modern Lovers is the proper choice for such an occasion.
