Hey Everyone,
Obviosuly I just created this blog to use to reflect on my experiences in Singapore, and to post pictures and stories about my trip. As of right now I think I am beyond excited, and to be honest a little nervous. I have never been to Asia, at least not since shortly after I was born, and I don't know anybody there yet other than Russell, the other intern going. I have gotten all of my shots and taken necessary precautions, including bringing a first aid kit (Thank you Kati), so I guess there is nothing to it but to do it! I am just really not looking forward to the long day of travel, but hopefully my excitement will keep me energized through it all. My only other worry/concern is today when I talked to Corinna she said the temperature there was 34 degrees celsius, which translates into 93.2 degrees fahrenheit and it is quite humid...so I guess I will be sweating of the pounds while I am there! For those of you who are interested my apartment looks very nice, and is through the YMCA in downtown Singapore, so I will have free use of their gym and pool (THANK GOD) while I am there which as you can tell I am very excited about. Other than that, all of my travel arrangements are made, and I am good to go I think, well, at least as good as I can be I guess. Feel free to leave comments of support or concern or just to talk to me if you don't have skype. For those who do have skype my user name is icecougar05, and I will try to be on whenever I can, please bear in mind that the time difference from Central Standard time to Singapore is currently 13 hours and I will do my best to keep you updated on this if it changes.
Thanks for all of your love and support, none of this would have been possible without any of you!
Love Always,
Brian
P.S. the link to my apartment is http://www.mymca.org.sg/home/metro-apart.html and there are links to photos of it on the right hand side of the page...I will get you my address including apartment number as soon as I can.
