Now that I have been here for a month (so crazy), I’ve finally been getting into a weekly routine that involves a little bit of school and a lot of hanging out, exploring and of course, going out. During the day, I go to class, eat at the canteen with some friends, and get back to my room and attempt to do homework. At night I explore the city and get some great pictures of Singapore at night. One day this week, I actually went to a poetry slam on Bali Lane (near Bugis) to watch a friend perform his poetry. It was a great experience and it was fun to see a ton of foreigners and Singaporeans alike get together.
I also attended an NUS exchange activity, called Dragonboating. Groups of around 16 people each got on a long rowing type boat and rowed around the bay and river to see amazing sights of the city. I was on the [Carolina] blue team, and it was great to reconnect with some of the other UNC students. Most of us were on the same team because we all wanted the Tar Heels color!
Overall, the life here is great. I am finally used to the weather and am pretty glad I’m not back in Chapel Hill with the snow. I am alive and kickin, and for the upcoming Chinese New Year break I’ll be going to Padang, Indonesia!
