Two month-iversary! I actually missed this by two days because I forgot what day I actually arrived. I think that might be a good sign?
I'm continuing to feel more and more settled here in Singapore. It's such a nice feeling! I still miss all my home people a lot, but I'm beginning to feel like I'll be home "soon" and that's comforting. By month three I'll finally have my permanent apartment and it will be all mine - it will be so nice to have my own place again.
My favourite things, so far, about being an expat:
- Adding diverse, worldly and ambitious people to my life
- Being challenged everyday
- Getting to know myself better and having the opportunity to work on some things
My least favourite things:
- Nothing is familiar or comfortable
- Life doesn't really feel "normal" -- kind of feels like you're on vacation all the time
- Being lonely (without really being alone)
- The Asian way of doing business
What I'm most looking forward to in the next couple months:
- Travel! (I ticked off Hong Kong and Malaysia in the last month)
- Visitors!
- Feeling more competent at work
- Trip home
- Brandon moving!
Hooray for missing anniversaries!! These next couple months will be jam-packed with fun and adventures and hopefully you'll be too busy to remember the next month passing. Still seems like you're on a long vacay on my end. :(
