1 week in Singapore!


A little over a week in Singapore. Some things to note:
1. switching time zones is relatively easy! After 2 days I felt totally in this new time zone, despite 12 hour difference...
2. Singapore is such an INTERESTING city. It is really quite interesting. The people, the neighborhoods, the architecture. A really nice balance between green/Nature and city. There are a LOT of parks here :0)
3. When it rains here, it monsoons. Almost every day, it rains like I've never it seen rain before. And then 10 minutes later it's gorgeous again. Always carry an umbrella! This really is a rainforest!
4. Monkeys are randomly spotted on the road! I saw my first monkey on 2nd day here- very very big deal for me (hehe)
5. Little lizards live in the same house as I do
6. Fresh young thai coconuts are cheap here. Why does that surprise me?- We are right next to Thailand...but in NYC those babies are crazy expensive!
7. Teaching= very fulfilling. Dance= very very fun. Fun job= happy Courtney
8. Singapore is an awesome city!
9. I need to get a bike
10. and a juicer
11. and now I need to go to sleep- it's late!!
12. Photo is of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, a preserved portion of primary rainforest just next to where I'm living!
