I’ve also found that much of the stuff I would want to buy are usually very high end specialized equipment that an airport store would not carry and even if they do, I don’t have any space in my bags to carry it.

Thus, all I want is to be able to commute back and forth in peace, and given my frequent travels, it is quite exhausting and all I want to do is to go to the lounge and refresh with a nice hot shower and relax on their couches. Also grab a nice meal in the lounges (keeps my airport spending down) and when it’s time to board, get on my flight.

Yes, earlier in the year I lingered longer than necessary at Changi to go look around and it’s a nice airport, but it’s still an airport. I didn’t see one item at any of the stores that made me want to buy it.

Just like I’ve been to HKG so many times now that I don’t even bother with sightseeing. I go there to be with my wife as much as I can before I have to come back to my job. I’m looking forward to when she moves to LA, then I can put this commuting behind me.
