Singapore airport (Changi) is immense; Wellington airport could easily fit in one of the three terminals. Singapore airlines gives you a free tour of the city on stopover, we got a "colonial" tour which meant lots of white buildings with columns and this statue of Raffles (looking hilarious) who came to Singapore, was met by a Lion (though there are none) and brought about the name change.
Our tour guide was the best we had; funny and informative though there wasn't really much to the tour. We learnt about buildings in the form of a hand, drunken seafood and the infamous (idiotic) Raffles. There was a snake charmer but unfortunately none of what we'd expect from the movies, just trying to make money by draping a snake around peoples shoulders and charging for pictures. The weather was very muggy, like soup but strangely not very hot.
And this time we went to the Butterfly Garden in the airport.
