Singapore Rocks
My first day of work Monday went well.
"Well" means "I got off the bus at the correct stop."
The commute takes about 1h 15m.
I need to start downloading podcasts of NPR and take the iPod with me.
Tonight I changed Blogger's language setting to English(Singapore).
I'm not even sure yet exactly what English(Singapore) is.
But I so wanna be ah beng because it's a cute look regardless of what Janvier said lah.
I have been tapped as an "expert" for a panel discussion Friday on the US election, as the only US rep.
The media have been invited.
I finally got a computer in my office today.
I ate prawn rolls on the street tonight.
Before tonight I didn't even know what prawn rolls were.
The guy cooking them was cute.
I spent an hour before that talking American politics and religion with the managers of the neighborhood community club.
The community club does not have a gym, but they do have ballroom dance classes.
They also have managers who can carry on a good conversation about American politics and religion.
I am winning hearts and minds.
I don't know where the hell these people train for marathons.
I am the only white person on my train during my commute.
Maybe this is what it feels like to be Chinese in North Carolina.
Friday morning I start teaching.

I am a Singaporean, but am now in the US...I don't see why you would need 1hr15min to get around in Singapore.
Hope u will figure out a better route the next time!
