Spectacular Sentosa Sojourns

Wanderlust Wonders: Vivian’s Journey Abroad (Week 9) Lion City Legends – Week 1 Greetings from Singapore! It’s mind-boggling to think we’re in Asia now! This week, our journey unfolds amidst the vibrant streets of Singapore, delving into its unique slang, and uncovering hidden gems. One of the most prevalent Singaporean expressions I’ve come across is “can or cannot” — a sufficient yet effective way of determining feasibility, whether or not a task can be completed. Over the weekend, Bucknell students embarked on an adventure via the gondola to one of Singapore’s quintessential landmarks: Sentosa Island! [view from the gondola ride] Highlight […]

This week has been a culmination of experiences, leaving a lasting mark on my Australian journey that I’ll forever cherish. Highlight #1: 2024 Lord Mayor’s Welcome for International Students To start off this week, I attended the 2024 Lord Mayor’s Welcome for International Students event, a fitting farewell to my time in Sydney. It struck me as ironic, considering the opposite academic calendar between Australian universities and Bucknell. This […]

Wanderlust Wonders: Vivian’s Journey Abroad (week 5) Down Under Diaries- Week 5 From lively excitements of university orientation to serene beauties of Australia’s oldest wine-growing region and harmonious piano melodies, this week is the epitome of unique experiences that define my time in Sydney.

Over the weekend, Bucknell students had the privilege of touring wineries at Hunter Valley and learning more about the wine industry. I also played piano at the Japanese restaurant […]
