An airport run

I didn't leave Singapore today, but I got to nose around the public areas of Changi Airport's Terminal 3 while killing time with G-man and the friend who was catching a flight. Terminal 3 feels strangely a little welcoming than Terminal 2, which has always struck me as rather cold. Maybe it's all the attempts to "green" the terminal and bring a little of the "garden city" into an industrial-sized space.


What Terminal 3 is really good at is introducing people to all of Singapore's retail and dining chains. I spotted signs for Crystal Jade, TCC, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Coffee Club, Watson's and, of course, NTUC. The one that threw me off was Harris, but G-man told me the bookstore's owned by the Popular group.
