Scenes From Changi Airport
The arrivals hall
And beautiful bauble decorations

And then: fearsome beasts!
Impressive dragons to welcome you to the Airport
When Wendy had been in Changi on other visits, she had seen The Slide - "Singapore's Tallest Slide - Only at Changi Airport" - an installation to transport riders easily from one floor to others (I am not sure how many floors it covers!), and she had always wanted to ride it.

We enquired at the Help Desk, and the assistant was truly helpful! There is usually a fee and ticketing involved, but she said she would get a ticket for Wendy; using her pass, she handed Wendy a card entitling her to 10 rides. Wendy was chuffed!
However, on further examination, Wendy was rather disappointed to see the slide was not an open one anymore, but was completely covered over, turning it into a tube. As a result, Wendy was not keen any longer to sample the delights of a swift descent, and so we left it at that. We still very much appreciated the kindness of that very helpful lady.
Perhaps The Slide is now a little bit too enclosed for comfort?!
A whole new meaning of "taking the tube?"
Changi has many sculptures and installations. Here are a few to enjoy:

I usually love dragonflies - but one this large?
Wendy: Underneath the Arches
A cooling pool and terraces
