Sitting, eating a cheeseburger, staring at bland advertising and wondering why I was turning my life upside down to this extent.
It had been a long day and, in my defence, I was tired and didn't have a lot to do before my flight to London later that night...
A tour guide earlier in the day had recommended the shopping centre, that housed said McCafe, for no other reason that the spectacular decoration of the gents toilets ...and I guess a full wall mural of the Running of the Bulls to entertain you while you wash your hands is worth a detour.
Besides, the detour provided that few minutes of rest and reflection over a cheeseburger.London was a long way from Brisbane, from family, from friends...
London from a McCafe in Singapore looked like a vast, cold lonely place...
London without any confirmed prospect of a job or somewhere to live...
London, a city with cold grey skies, drizzle and misery.
...and most pressing of all, London was an overnight flight in economy with the prospect of little sleep...But, now I am here, it's not nearly so bad... even the sun is shining!
