One week Recap

We have now been in Singapore officially one week! It seems like we have learned so much in such a short time and we thought we would share what this week has brought:

• Driving on the other side of the road means that people pass on the other side as well (This has been Jason's biggest obstacle, I keep whispering go left when we hit someone head on)
• When you hand someone money it should always be with two hands - it shows a sign of honor and trust
• Napkins! Bring them with you before you leave the house. There are none!
• You are suppose to cover your mouth when you laugh...still a mystery as to why
• Alcohol is way more expensive then it should be
• Jason is struggling with the heat and I'm struggling with the cold...all the AC!
  
• The green bread is not moldy, its Pandan and it tastes great!
• Don't finger point always use an open hand to show something
  
• No Durian's on the MRT - but you guys already knew that
• You can get food 24 hours a day and that probably means there is a mall open 24 hours a day
  
• Business hours begin at 11am, unfortunately Genetech does not follow this rule :(
  
• There is no "You're" in Welcome - its just Welcome in your most Asian accent
• You'll never get your check at a restaurant unless you ask
• Don't turn the "Heater" light off in your apartment...you will have a cold shower! - turns out it is the water heater
• The light switches are never where you think they should be!
• My hair will officially be living in a bun from here on out :)
  
• We will have mastered the art of the Singlish language by the time we come home!

Here are some photos of our new home for a year! Enjoy and if you want to see more you are just going to have to come and visit...enticing no?
