Man Singapore is amazing! This is my second time going there now - once with Grandad on our way back from Europe. I love the mix of west and east! A short visit but really great! On Thursday I finished classes for semester and then Friday arvo I flew down to Singapore. It's only about an hour flight so really easy and I got the whole row to myself! I caught the train to downtown and got off just near my hotel in Bugis, which is a couple of kms away from the cent...

I've been having some really engaging classes and learning a tonne of stuff I've never known before so thought I'd jot a few points down! So I did a presentation about revenge porn to my gender class and none of them had even heard of revenge porn or cases of it in Malaysia!

I thought I'd write a bit about some of the people I've met here and the experiences we are sharing as exchange students! There's about 180 exchange students here at UM this semester so I've been meeting people as I go! A local student Jasper helped put together a welcome dinner and about 80 of us were at that so I met some really cool people from all over - Germany, France, Korea, China, Japan and pretty much all South East Asian countries!!! In my classes I ha...
