Comment on We’re bringing back the “Other Strange Places” Reviews by kika

During the Siena Palio there’s no accommodation anywhere to be had. My friend and me bumbled into town on the day of the festival naively thinking we would find a place. Well we did, eventually, in the ladies’ toilets at the railway station. They were clean enough and although a bit cramped, quite restful. Until loud banging at the door at about midnight woke us up. Not being very clued-up about Italian uniforms, we thought we had to deal with the police - and only after endless palaver it dawned on us that we had a soldier in front of us with an eye to sharing our lodgings. We managed to re-lock the door and ignored the renewed banging. We were finally left alone and the rest of the night was blissfully uneventful.

@Hajah Rofiah

There is a cheap transit hotel in Changi T2. Book it for a few hours (about SGD$50 last time I did it.) and you can rest in a proper, albeit spartan room for a few hours.

Hajah Rofiah :My flight from US to Malaysia transit in Singapore arriving at about 11.45 pm. My next flight is at 7.00 am. Where should I wait safely since Im an old lady traveling alone

@Hajah Rofiah @Hajah Rofiah @Hajah Rofiah We have same connections on a future trip---what did you do? Did you have to claim your luggage or did the Airlines take it from plane to plane. Can you access the hotels or lounge areas---any thing you can share would be appreciated.

Bring a gigantic, crisp plastic bag and put everything you own in it. If anyone tries to access that bag, loud alarming crunches will be emitted.

OR. Sleep in front of the security desk.
OR. Find a camera and sleep in it’s view.
OR. Form a group of other sleepers, and take turns staying awake, and mintaining the perimeter.
OR. Dress like someone from the Hells Angels.
OR. Prop yourself up against a wall while standing, and make it appear that you are awake(whilst you are really sleeping(albeit in a very very uncomfortable position))

That looks like the international concourse in ATL. After many long flights I’ve wanted to do something similar!
