First days in Singapore: eating and shopping :)
Jan 16th, 2009 by bjoern
After arriving in Singapore last Monday it took me some days to get familiar with the climate and the speedy city as I was still on Botswana mode. Four million inhabitants are gathered on a small island almost at the equator and so it´s not only warm with 25 – 30 degrees but also very humid. And the city is very speedy and has a phenomenal traffic-system with millions of cars, subway-lines, buses and around 17.000 cabs – almost everywhere are the blue cabs and helped me a lot during the first days. And if you ask Singaporians their beloved hobbies are: eating and shopping, so the shopping-malls are amazing. I am currently living together with Susi in a flat share at 10th floor with swimmingpool, tennis court and other cool gadgets to use. That´s great stuff and we even manage to smoothly agreeing how to share our small room. :)
After arriving and experiencing the town I was already working on my thesis at the Central Library of National University of Singapore, which is an amazing huge university with all what I need for the next weeks to finalise my thesis. Besides this work I got in contact with some potential job-partners and will continue this ´networking experience from the scretch´ the next weeks to find my dream-job for March/April or so.
If you want to reach me here you can send an email or phone to (+65) 977 58 334 but please be aware that we are seven hours before Europe. :) Next week we´ll visit Brunei, so if anybody has some suggestions or contacts there, please forward me.
