Reflection

I'm leaving Singapore within an hour! I'll write a brief one today since I don't have much time...

This semester went by so fast! I really had a great time here. I got to meet many people from various countries who have different cultural backgrounds and values. I learned many things from them. At first I wasn't interested in some countries since I didn't know much about them. But once I started meeting people from those countries, I started feel that I want to know more about those countries and want to visit them one day. I also learned a lot from the hard working Singaporeans.

I went to ride the Singapore Flyer so I'm sharing some night views from the top!!






I randomly found this few days ago in a MRT station. I thought this is quite interesting!!


NO DURIANS!!

Lastly, I want to thank Freeman Family once again for giving this opportunity for me to gain a great international experience!! Thank you very much!!

Malacca Trip!

I went to Malacca in Malaysia with my friend! We were there for only one night but we had a great time! We used a coach (bus) to get to Malacca. It took about 4 hours but it only costs S$21 getting Malacca and RM22 (about S$9) on the way back. I heard it's common to take a coach instead of a plane. I'm not even sure if there's a flight to Malacca...


We stayed at the Hatten Hotel which was pretty nice. We had a great deal, too! It costs about S$41 per person including the breakfast and free Wi-Fi access in lobby and lounges.


This hotel is connected to a newly built shopping mall and I didn't have any problem finding food places. Because of the good location, I didn't have to walk that much getting to places I wanted to go!!

Christ Church

Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum

Since its colonization in the earlier history, Malacca has a lot of European influences. When I went to the heritage museum, I saw many commodities imported from Europe. I also found some decorations of houses..




I randomly ran into this cafe, when my friend and I were heading to the heritage museum. I really liked how the interior decoration is really colorful.


 



I only have less than a week before going back home!! Hopefully, I can travel a little more within Singapore!
