Youth Olympic Games Mascots welcoming party at Changi Airport

We've spent the last few days trying to get over our jet lag. Which means we haven't really been in the mood to shop.

Besides, being on a tropical island means the humidity drives you nuts as soon as you step outside. And the kids aren't fans of how the place smells (imagine a Chinese/Japanese/Indian restaurant surrounding you 24/7) - it's not exactly offensive, but its easy to get tired of being bombarded.

We did make ourselves get up for a tour of the city and a visit to the zoo for breakfast, though.

And we couldn't leave without having one of these...

Right now we're at the airport waiting to board our plane to Sydney. And yes, we're all totally ready to come home.
