Monday we did not have work because we had to go to the Ministry of Manpower to apply for our Work Holiday Passes. I did some grocery shopping and realized that Singapore is very expensive. Tuesday was our first day of work and our Intern Orientation. There were many computer difficulties, but after everyone was set up, I went to lunch with Ivy. On Friday, we went to lunch with Eunice to a Japanese restaurant where I got some squid and shrimp tempura. At night, we went to Marquee at the Marina Bay Sands for Charlotte’s birthday. It was the […]
Monday we went on an INCREDIBLE waterfall tour. I saw some of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen. The weather was much better this day than the previous one.

All that being said, the highlight of this day (and […]

Later on that week, Michelle and I went to an arcade with one of our classmates and had a fun time playing games again like kids. That weekend was our tour of the Sydney Opera House, which was incredible. I […]
This weekend my friends and I travelled to Bali. This was a trip I have been excited for before I even came abroad as I have heard great things about the natural beauty of Bali. I arrived on Friday night and took an hour and a half taxi ride to our villa which we had rented. As soon as I arrived I met my friends at a local bar/restaurant to get some food. This establishment had live music and I was invited on stage to play guitar for a few songs which was a whole lot of fun. Following this, […]
