Singapore Week 1 – James Hudson

First week in Singapore! We arrived in our new apartment and were blown away by how nice it was. There is a fountain in the lobby and goes all the way to the 26th floor. The hotel lobby offers free coffee in the morning and our room is one of the few rooms that have a balcony leading to my favourite morning routine of a coffee on the balcony in the morning. Sunday was St. Patricks day and my friends and I were able to find an Irish pub to spend the night. We all were skeptical of finding one […]

Australia Week 9 – James Hudson

Spring Break has finally come! A week in Cairns, Australia after finishing up our classes was awesome. We checked into the hostel, Gilligan’s and immediately went to the pool. The pool was unreal with a basketball court, pool volleyball, and a huge projector playing any sports game that were on.  The first activity we did on Spring break was go to Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures. We saw loads of crocodiles, getting to take a boat around Australia’s biggest crocodile inclosure and even getting to watch a crocodile feeding which was unreal. We also got to see our second koala of the […]

Australia Week 8 – James Hudson

This week was our last week in Sydney. The time has gone by so fast and my friends and I have fallen in love with Sydney. The laid-back lifestyle, to the amazing weather, to the gorgeous beaches it is hard not to fall in love with this place. Everyone here is so kind and happy and there is always something to do. I love my routine in Sydney of going from class to the beach. The public transport has been so easy to get the hang of and has allowed travel around Sydney to be easy and efficient. If that […]

Australia Week 7 – James Hudson

This week my friends and I went surfing at Manly Beach. Everytime we go to Manly I am still blown away by how gorgeous the ferry ride is. When we got to the beach we rented surf board and immediately hit the water. About 5 minutes in one of my friends had actually snapped his board in half and had to go back to the surfboard rental shop to get a new board. Luckily he wasn’t charged as the owners knew that the board was old when they gave it to him and gladly gave him a new one. Surfing […]

Australia Week 6 – James Hudson

The Business Law Midterm went well and Business Law is shaping into one of the most interesting classes I have taken at Bucknell. A unfortuante event that happened this weekend is our ceiling broke due to a leaking AC vent. It ruined one of my roomates shoes and caused the weekend to be spent with maintence workers in our room vaccuming up the water and adressing the chipped ceiling paint. Thankfully it was not our fault but we did have to go through the Australian heat without AC for a night which was not fun. I have also finally found […]

Australia Week 5 – James Hudson

This week, my friends I journeyed again to Bondi beach and Manly beach. After experiencing both beaches more than once, I can safely say Bondi beach is my favorite even though the ferry ride to Manly is one of the most beautiful ferry rides in all of Sydney. On Friday, my friends and I all woke up early to get a full beach day in at Bondi. We noticed that the hottest parts of the day, where the sun is strongest, is between 10am and 1pm. The waves were also insane that day, reaching nearly 6-7 feet. My friends and […]
