Suddenly we have lived in Singapore for a whole year!
How did this happen so fast?
Before we moved here I was worried about lots of things.
I had no idea what to expect.
Late night snack in Hong Kong.
I worried about making friends. Nothing to worry about there! Lots of really nice friends.
Tea at Capella
I worried about the food, would it be good? Would I like it? There are the very best hole in the wall places here and the fanciest places. A foodies dream!

I was super worried about leaving half of our family in the states, but they came to see us and
it was wonderful! And we have Skype!
I wondered about the medical system, but Ike had 2 surgeries and was treated with world class care.
I worried that I would do things wrong, I wouldn't know how to function in a new culture. But it turns out that people here are quite helpful, if you ask.
There are usually signs instructing you on the correct way to do things.
Then I fell in love with Singapore.
The rich diversity of culture, religion, and culture makes it an exciting and vibrant place to live.

Chinatown
Cloud Dome
Mr. Raffles
Flower Dome
Joss Stick Factory
Vesak Day
HDB Market
Little India
Now, after making the trip several times,
a 24 hour flight back home doesn't seem so far or so bad if you get to go back to the folks
you've known and loved your whole life.
And it's nice to know that Itaho is always there, waiting for us.

Crazy that it's been a year already. Those pictures are beautiful. I can see why you fell in love with Singapore!
I can't believe it's already been a year--so so crazy! It was so fun to be able to see you and catch up at the cabin this summer. So glad you're enjoying Singapore!
