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.
Have safe travels, Brian!

Brian,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you as you begin a new chapter in your life. This is such an awesome experience and hopefully will lead to many career opportunities for you. I couldn't be more proud of you.

Brian,
ReplyDeleteSounds crazy to get around but I have heard that is how Asia is. Hopefully you don't spend all of your time just getting to work and then have to head right back home! Does it seem safe enough? Hope you brought a flouroquinolone in case that food gives you bad stomach issues. FYI from your favorite pharmacist, Aunty Mary. We will try and follow you on your blog.
Love from Sunny California,
Mary & Rachel :)
Hi Brian:}
ReplyDeleteJust love your blog and photos, that will be the nearest I will ever get to Asia.
Your so welcome for the care packages that we sent together. I learned to pack that well by packing boxes for the troops.
Your working with some very trustworthy, happy & caring people. How nice of them to treat you to dinner and give you informational help.
You seem very acclimated in many aspects already, also at work. You always were able to adapt quickly & intelligently from toddler on up.
Be safe & street smart also, we think of you often.
With Much Love,
Nana
