It&#8217;s our first full day here. I went shopping for groceries. There was nothing in the house. But not before noon. This is about how long I slept. <br \/>The flight was okay. We flew from Zurich to Singapore. The first hours the entertainment system didn&#8217;t work on our side. We had three seats to the window and two in the middle. after a couple of hours the flight attendants were able to reset the system on our side. The system is great to kill long hours on a flight. We could choose from over 60 movies and TV shows. We also were able to play games. So I played a battleship multi player game against my wife. It is a real treat if you can choose what you want to watch. I decided that one day in my life I would like to fly first class. Josiah, my six year old said he would like to as well. <br \/>We had to wait eight hours in Singapore for the connecting flight to Chiang Mai. We were so tired and after a nice coffee went to a quite corner called &quot;the oasis&quot;. There were nice seats and even electric massage chairs to use. Singapore has the costumer friendliest airport I know. If I ever would be trapped in an airport like Tom Hanks in &quot;the terminal&quot; I would choose Singapore.<br \/>All our luggage arrived in Chiang Mai and also Lillian&#8217;s guitar arrived well. We took it as hand luggage and checked it in at the cabin door. Just like we used to do with our buggies.<br \/>Now we are back. It is extremely humid and it rains every night. The ants our already crawling over my ibook, the Water pump didn&#8217;t work and&nbsp; all was moldy.&nbsp; It will take some time to unpack, clean, and get started with everyday life. I&#8217;m tired from the trip and the program we had in Switzerland, and I also miss Switzerland, our friends and families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are back in Chiang Mai.
