hot hot heat

Singapore is soooo humid. It feels like a sauna 24/7. It's really nice though. Everything is really organized and landscaped. NUS's campus is sooo awesome. It's so much cooler than UNC. Everything looks so new and modern. They even have glass rooms for people to go in to talk on their cell phones in the library. My room is a single with air conditioning and its own bathroom. Apparently the first case of swine flu was found in Singapore today. Now we have to take our temperatures every morning and report them to prove that we don't have swine flu. Today for breakfast I ate a cheese and mushroom prata with a banana milkshake. Lunch was pigs belly with rice, and lychee tea. I tried almond/mint milk too. For dinner I had chicken with egg and rice, and fish soup and pineapple juice. There are so many fruits. We went to the botanical gardens today, too. I would upload pictures but I'm too lazy. I fail at blogging, I'm too tired to really write much. I'm still jet lagged and have to read my assignments for tomorrow morning.

I'm in ASIAAA

I'm in Hong Kong! We landed a bit ago at the airport. We're waiting to fly to Singapore in a few hours. We had a 5 hour flight, then a 14.5 hour flight, which wasn't bad. Cathay Pacific is awesome. There's so much entertainment aha. Tons of movies and TV shows and games, much cooler than British Airways. But the seats are hard...which made sleeping painful. It's so cool how I can see mountains from the windows here. Too bad it's raining and gross weather. I'm so awake for 6am. Jet lag's going to be a bitch tonight. I still have yet to EAT anything here... nothing's open this early =(

It's almost time to gooo...


Today was my last day home! I'm a bit sad that I didn't spend that much time with my family, though. Sarah and I went window shopping, then ran into a boy with sweet supras. We asked him where he got his shoes, and got lost in Charlotte trying to find the store. Actually, we got lost trying to leave Charlotte, we found the store just fine. They really need to make better girls' shoes. There's always a wall of guy's shoes, and a shelf for girls. Anyways, they didn't have the ones we wanted, so we just made some online. I'll add a picture =D I can't wait to get them in the mail...they're flossy XD I added that for Oanh. Manuel, Melissa, and I watched some movies. They were crazy. The last one was pretty good, "Wristcutters: A Love Story." Sounds depressing, but it's not. I should be asleep now. I need to get up in about 7 hours to get ready....to leave the countryyyy. The flight is going to be so long... Good thing I printed out the pre-class reading...even though I probably should have already read it. We got an email today saying we might get to learn to box in Thailand. SWEET. Next time I add something, it'll probably be from Singapore!

First Post. xcore.

So I decided to make this so I can write about the EXTREME things I'll be doing in ASIA during my study abroad. I can't wait to eat...and eat...and eat :O I'm all packed. Tomorrow's my last day in the USA. I'm going to picnic with Sarah...then who knows what will happen. I sure don't. That's how intense the night will be.
