Week 15 and my final blog for my time on study abroad! This has been the best decision I ever made and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to come on this trip. Starting week 15 I was in Phuket, Thailand. I stayed an extra day in Phuket as I got permission from work so I did not fly home until Monday night. During the day on Monday, we decided to go to a tiger park. I really wanted to hold a baby tiger when we were here but unfortunately, that was not available for the day. I […]
This week here in Singapore was our 14th week on this trip. I still can not believe how fast this time has flown by!! It is really sad that we are nearing our last few weeks on the trip. During the week was pretty calm for me. I spent a lot of time going into work and then wandering around Orchard area after work. Fort Canning park has become one of my new favorite spots to walk to and wander around. They have a really cool tree tunnel here that I like to walk through, especially after sitting in an […]
During our next week in in Singapore, I continued in my same routine. On Monday I headed into work and got started on everything for the week. That night when I got home I decided to go on a longer walk and explore the city some more. I ended up walking way farther than I anticipated but was able to see much more of the city which was super nice. I did accidentally get lost because I was distracted talking on the phone but ultimately made it back after a while. This week was a bit different as there was […]
Our third week in Singapore! This week I really started getting adjusted and getting used to my life here. The first two weeks were a big adjustment for me but this week I really settled into a good routine. Other than work this week I had a few fun dinners and got to explore the city some more. On Tuesday I headed out to dinner for a friends birthday. We went upstairs to a restaurant at the top of the Marina Bay Sands. We were there to watch the light show and for sunset which was super pretty. It was […]
Week 11 was our second week here in Singapore. After getting adjusted to everything I continued to head into work Monday to Thursday of this week. On Monday after work, I headed over to meet a friend after work. From here we stopped at a hawker station to pick up some dinner. We then decided to head over to Gardens by the Bay. Every night they have a cool light show so we walked around the garden for a while and then headed over to watch. It was so pretty and a must see spot here in Singapore so it […]
My first week in Singapore! Week 1 in Singapore was super busy as this was our first week of work. On Monday morning we headed to the Ministry of Manpower to fill out our forms and received our visa to work in Singapore over the next two months. After this I went into work where I was able to meet two people on my team and get set up with everything for the job. I spent the day learning more about the company and about what I would be working on here. Tuesday through Friday I continued to come into […]
