I arrived in Batam an island in Indonesia, it’s governed by the Sumatra province. There isn’t much to do on the island, a lot of resorts for people fleeing Singapore for better deals. To get across from Singapore, I took the ferry, it took around 1 hour. Right when I arrived I felt […]
I went to Sentosa Island just across from Singapore; it’s part of Singapore. You can go there on a gondola, by train or a boat.
The island is mainly a Universal studios theme park that’s not yet complete. I took the gondola which is a lot higher than the gondola in Taipei. […]
Another significant thing about Singapore is the population diversity, only half of the populations were born in Singapore. The 4 official languages are; English, Chinese, Malayan, and Tamil. Besides China town, Little India reflects the diversity more than anywhere else I saw in Singapore. Many Indian and Chinese temples and mosques, there were […]
Many things are significant about Singapore, in this post I will talk about one and that is how they managed to have vast green spaces. The total population of Singapore is around 5 million, with landmass area of 720square KM. It used to be around 500 square km before they reclaimed land from […]
Arriving in Singapore and the first thing I said is “WOW”. Very clean, very organized and you look at the amazing buildings architecture. It’s as spectacular as Dubai. They both have amazing architecture, but Singapore is more spread around and has a lot of green spaces. The city/country is very cosmopolitan, just like […]
I left Taiwan heading to Singapore. I really liked Taiwan, I felt attached to the place after staying almost 3 months. I can summarize it with one word “Taiwanese People” really amazing, everyone I met was very friendly, very helpful and very respectful. As I mentioned in previous posts, I will come back […]
My mandarin class hasn’t been easy and most of the time I have no idea what the teacher is talking about. It will be my last week before heading to Singapore. I am planning to come back here to enroll in this class and continue learning Mandarin till I feel I can carry […]
Yesterday I went to Yehliu; it’s a little town about 1.5 hours from Taipei. It’s now part of the new Taipei City. I took the bus and I told the driver that I needed to get to Yehliu when I handed him the ticket, I later realized he didn’t understand me. I wasn’t […]
The longer I stay here the more I experience the real culture and get better understanding about Asian Culture in general and the Taiwanese/Chinese culture in specific. The other day for the first time I saw a funeral. I was heading to the Chinese class I am taking and saw a big tent […]
Over the weekend, I went to Jiufen it’s a 2 hours bus ride, there’s no direct train service to Jiufen. It’s a mountainous town, very charming and touristic. These summer days have been very warm, humid with no breeze in Taipei but once I arrived in Jiufen it was great with a nice […]
