I'm officially in Singapore. Currently laying in my new bed, no sheets, but thank goodness I brought a pillowcase!! Everyone I've met so far is extremely nice and welcoming. Sunny from NIE picked me up from the airport and drove me to the River Valley High School Hostel - giving me a brief tour of Singapore along the way. I live on the west side, and the airport's on the east side, so it was nice to see some sights along the way. I'm still adjusting to the passenger sitting where the driver should, but I think I'll get used to it.
My flight arrived right on time from Beijing to Singapore. It wasn't too bad, 6.5 hours... I watched 'Now You See Me' and half of 'The Croods' before falling asleep for about 45 minutes. It's currently midnight here (Saturday) and 6am (Friday) in California, which is really weird to think about, but I'm exhausted either way so I should be able to sleep well.
My room is on the 15th floor of the building (mom, you'd be freaking out), but it's wonderful and has a great view of other flats. There's a 24 hour market and McDonalds within walking distance, and a great mall that we can go thrift shopping at, etc... I'll have to check that out tomorrow!!
My thoughts are becoming more and more jumbled, so I think this will do for now.... I'll definitely post more tomorrow - the pillow is just too tantalizing after the way I spent the last 30 hours of my life. Time to rest up and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! 3 more girls arrive tomorrow too, so I'm really excited!!
