Day5, Bus trip...

up to Brastagi Highlands!

The kids are a happy bunch

The pastor of the orphanage

There we get to interact with the orphans/single parent (all very low income)

They work, farm for a living and to keep the orphanage operations alive

And balloons come standard!

We were brought around the orphanage farms with vegatable farms, pigs and rabbits!

Our task for the day is at the highland catholic orphanage

Welcome to Singapore's Airport Terminal 3!

Here we enter the twitlight zone from below...

Into a whole interesting world!

the check in booth area on level 2nd (departures)

T3 sits at a whooping 380,000 sqm, dwarfing both T1 and T2

the departure entrance is similar to that of T2, with a 2nd level fly-over entrance for direct vehicular alighting

the whole terminal is luminated purely by sunlight in the day

thanks to a computerised automatic reflector skylight system

here are some of the few "goldfish" centralised air-conditioning towers, minimising the need for inefficient air-con d

this system automatically adjusts the ceiling reflectos so the optimum light levels can be directed in given cloud and sun posit

we are first to check in!
