	Passenger Opinions about Singapore Changi Airport
		Its a shame the hitherto enjoyable transits and appreciation of Changi has been soured by the actions of one official who appeared to be a jobs worth and had not been to any police training charm school.
		Changi may be looking a bit worn around the edges but it is still one of the best airports in the world.
		Changi is not a bad airport, but after living in Singapore for almost 14 years, I cannot say that I share the great enthusiasm that many travellers sense on their first or second arrival at the airport.

	The Changi Murals, The Background to the Murals
		The Changi six inch guns, and guns from Pulau Tekong fired on them, but because of being poorly supplied with high explosive ammunition, the effect was not as good as it might have been.
		Changi was the subject of an artillery barrage on that day and its guns replied with great intensity.
		Changi was selected by the Japanese as a POW camp area.

		Changi became known as the most notorious camp in Asia, and in the minds of many people in England, Australia, and America, the Changi prisoner-of-war camp would invoke visions of atrocities, starvation, bad living conditions and emaciated men.
		Many POWs who only experienced Changi have felt unease at being spared the terrible conditions on the Burma-Thailand Railway, while their comrades were taken away and often worked to death.[32] They have tried to rationalise their guilt.
		The management of the STPB thought that the Changi site was frequented mainly by British, Australian and New Zealand ex-POWs and their relatives, and it appears to have been unaware that Kanchanaburi was experiencing a tourist boom.[36] The decision reflected STPB's priorities in developing Singapore's tourist attractions.

	COFEPOW - South East Asia Under Japanese Occupation - Singapore - The Changi Story
		Thousands of people every year fly into Changi Airport and head for the centre of Singapore without even giving the area of Changi a second thought, but this eastern sector of the island is steeped in history which is worth spending a little time in pursuing.
		In the early 1900's Changi was little more than a low-lying mangrove swamp area which was punctuated by three main hills that were destined to become known as the Battery Hill, the Fairy Point Hill and the Temple/Changi Hill areas.
		The name 'Changi' is the native word for the 'Balanocarpus' tree, some of the tallest trees that used to grow on Singapore.

		The Changi military base's narrative of the past did not accurately represent the history of the murals, but gave its own interpretation of how they were created.
		The "Changi Lamp of Maintenance" presented to the STPB by Hammond was hand-carved by the POWs during the war.
		The Changi Murals confirm Lloyd's idea that regardless of whether a visit is made by war veterans, relatives of the fallen, or tourists, the language of pilgrimage dominates their encounters with the sacred war site.

	DVD Verdict Review - Changi
		Many of the prisoners were marched to Changi Peninsula at the eastern end of the island of Singapore where they would be incarcerated in what had formerly been a British army barracks.
		A 2001 six-episode Australian television miniseries called Changi has used the events in the Changi POW camp as inspiration for a dramatization of the survival of six Australian soldiers in the camp.
		Despite the equality of their shared Changi experience, their post-war lives have gone in different directions and led them all to distinctly different ends in terms of home, family, and economic station.

		Changi Airport may not seem that big to us...but u gotta take into account that it is splitted into 2 terminals, and within the terminals are various "passenger/transit/visitor/departure/arrival/staff zones" that may not be accesible to all of us all the time.
		Changi was planned with the concept of being a "SkyCity".
		But before the A380 can land at Changi, the airport needs to be modified to cater to the aircraft - 2m longer than the 70.7m-long 747, with the tail about 5m higher - and the larger number of travellers it will carry.

	Myths & Facts about Changi
		The guns of Changi still covered the sea approaches to the now deserted naval base, but as the Japanese forced their way south towards Singapore in the weeks that followed there dawned the bitter realization that these guns could not fire effectively in the direction from which the attack would now surely come.
		Writing to Mr Churchill on 16th January, General Wavell was obliged to say that ‘although the fortress cannon of heaviest nature had all-round traverse, their flat trajectory made them unsuitable for counter battery work.’ He could certainly not guarantee to dominate enemy siege batteries with them.
		Changi contained a great many ‘saleable’ commodities, but on occasion the desire for food would override common sense, as for example when precious M and B tablets from the hospital were being traded for bully beef or when men went out to sell the clothes they wore in exchange for food.

		The triangle structured hotel is flanked by a golf course, the sea and the interesting Changi Village and offers a resort style holiday away from the hustle of city life just 15 minutes from Changi Airport.
		The Hotel resides in the heart of Changi Village and is surrounded by quaint little shops and eateries offering fresh seafood and local delicacies and just across the road is a popular hawker centre.
		Clearly setting itself apart from its surroundings, Changi Village’s eye catching white and metal facade with colourful boxed glass and balconies is unique, sleek and modern, but I can’t help noticing the similarities with Gallery Hotel.

		"The Changi Brownlow symbolises the tradition Australians have established in turning to sport in wartime to maintain morale and emphasise the importance of supporting those in your team," Mr Gower said.

		The casting is superb, with a terrific bunch of young actors playing the men in the Changi era and some of Australia’s most respected and recognised older actors portraying the same men in the present day.
		Changi was shot on film; we’re guessing 16mm, going by the sometimes-too-obvious level of grain.
