First week in Singapooooore!!!

Let me shout the highlights of my first week in Singapore

  • I live in the 13th floor of a very nice building with Sauna and Swiming pool (already enjoyed good moments in both)
  • I work in the 23rd floor of the most beautiful building in the city! The view is simply amazing with all the sky scrapers around us
  • Its really hot here, or better is reasonably hot (between 30º to 35º) but the humidity makes it look like 50º in Portugal!
  • My room is quite empty cause it didnt have any furniture so I have to buy it bit by bit –the most important (double-bed and desk) is bought so I must say I really like my room :)
  • I keep on translating everything hear in the work to AIESEC language or context, just to understand it better – guess I spent way too long in our amazing organization :)
  • Being vegetarian is actually being harder than expected and everyday I go through the challenge of finding something I can eat!
  • I love the culture of eating meals on the street! As its quite cheap everybody prefers to eat out than to cook at home. It gives such a nice feeling of community! And you see it everywhere at anytime in the day!
  • Just besides the building where I work there is an arab business community (reminds me about other city and they have water pipe! I know where to relax when the work gets tougher
  • My boss came up to me and said “Pedro, welcome on board, I have a very long list for you! You will be a very busy boy”
  • Already went for indian food twice with Diogo. Its good to speak some portuguese once and a while, and the food....oh my GOD! Great Yaar! :D


Overall, Im quite happy to be here, seems to be a great country to live and an amazing region to Explore! Cant wait to start travelling around :)

Cheers,

Pita
