Ching Chong china man donkey monkey.....STOP

OK, so its been about 2 months since I wrote here last and I now find myself sitting on the 20th floor in central Shanghai thinking.... WTF just happened!

Well, I finished my exams, passed my taekwondo test, went to Hong Kong, back to Sweden and survived Bali which is right about where I left you guys the last time I scribbled away on this often funky but not very updated page......

So why haven't I been writing? I guess thats a good question... and for lack of a better word a personal one at that! Fact is, not so long ago I went back to the place where I left off (Linköping, Sweden) in order to say goodbye to someone that I love very much and whos been an integral part in making me the person I am today. That person would be my grandmother Gunborg Larsson.

Now having to write something as intimate as that is not my thing.... God as my witness I have tried numerous times, but the words in my head haven't really made sense and when I've written something it didn't feel right! Im not a guy to hold back and I believe in being honest and upfront but as this case shows its not always that easy! I did however promise a few people back home I would keep them updated and so I will. I guys my word is my word but in times as such it isn't always the fastest!

So here I am... in a land without facebook or youtube, but with more starbucks cafes, McDonalds outlets, Gucci, LV, Prada etc. stores than any other city I've been in! I always thought things out here would be different seeing as it is one off the most communist ruled countries on earth, but times the are changing and quickly at that! Shanghai is at the forefront off the next big thing and it isn't shy either. The last days have made that very clear. In fact, maybe Shanghai is the New 'New York'..... Everyday here is different, the beat of the city and the rythms of the night along with the honking of the taxis outside remember me of the feeling I had when I was in Manhattan! There is just a whole lot more Chinese people here.... well a bit more than a few, some 20 million more! And the itinerary has been busy, so illgive a quick summary before I head out to get my second Suit from tha tailor

Sunday- Arrived at 15.40 from Singapore making quick roll from the airport with the Maglev(magnetic train) taking me 30 km in 7 minutes at an average of 430 km/h! The night was relaxed as I met Niklas and headed out to his place where Im now sleeping and currently writing from! Later we went outfor Japanese and headed to the bund to check out the skyline over a cappuccino(pictures to come) before heading back for a nights sleep!

Monday- Headed to Tailor to get two suits made. Then strolled around town and peoples park before heading to Astra Zeneca at west Nanjing Road to meet my moms old Collegue and get some insight into Shanghai wonders and business environment from someone local! Later on we headed to Malones for a burger and big beer for just 50 yuan which is about 50 kr! Dirt cheap and extremely good! after that we headed for Zapatas for free all you can drink beer between 10 and 11.... Lets just say they didnt turn off the tap and we didn't spend a dime(Great Concept) After that we headed to Phoebes where for 100 yuan(about 100 kr) you get to drink as much as you want of whatever you want for the whole night..... We got home at around 5 that morning and headed to bed ill quick after finishing of the street BBQ food we got outside of Soho.... which is the place where we went for 10 minutes as they had stoped selling the all you can drink 100yuan bracelets! Good thing seeing as I dont think we needed to drink any more! Slept like a baby.

Tuesday- Summed up as being a hungover day going to the fake market to buy two fake watches(mont banc and Tag Heur) for 250 yuan each! Best thing is they are really automatic and look extremely authentic so good for anyone that wants the watch but cant afford the real one! We later headed over to the aquarium where we watched the fishes while trying to work off the hangover! Later that night we went for some spicy cantonese food at this old traditional place and live show! thanks to a slow cab driver we missed the show but still enjoyed the food! Btw, the taxis here are so cheap... never payed above 30 yuan!

Wensday- Headed to the french concession and the old town to see what was up with the real Shanghai! Almost got coned by a tourist trap and instead headed for a small tea place where it still felt like we were getting conned as we spent 110 yuan on tea! Good on us I guess! After that we went out to this Tapanyaki place for all you can eat buffe with our own cook making it infront of us! All of this before heading to Ascot rooftop bar and later on M2 which is the club we got stuck at until 4 in the morning even though we said we should make it an easy night! Guess we had a lot of fun!

Thursday- Headed to Chinas number one water town... or more like it Chinas little venice! Really nice place will put pictures up later!

Friday- Went for breakfast, fixed my things before we head to Beijing tomorrow and will now go to the tailor to pick up the 2nd suit! Will most likely head to an expat red carpet event tonight before heading to the view bar at the Hyatt and then Bar Rouge! Be sure to stay tuned for details and pictures!


Gotta run!

Epic

So check it dear friends and family,

Its been an epic weekend which was kicked off with the F1 helipad party last thursday at the swissotel followed by the weekends three days of F1 racing and concerts!

Though I would, but most definetly will write and tell you all about this weekends adventures... I am sad to inform you that time is of the essence and I dont have enough of it! This is because I am leaving for the airport at 6 A.M. for my flight to Bali where Ill be for the next week. Considering the clock just hit 2 A.M. I am feeling that I should hit the sheets and get some form of prolonged powernap before I have to wake up again. Therefore, I am going to have to say goodnight, sleep tight and... yea I am unsure as to what rhymes here, but nonetheless I'll try to update as soon as I can so stay tuned!

Should I not be able to find time and a computer, then be sure to at least tune in next sunday as Im sure I'll have stories worth sharing!

So in case I dont see ya, good morning, good evening, and goodnight

HELIPAD party

Last night we went out to the Helipad party on top of the SWISSOTEL!

IT WAS SURREAL AND REDICULOUS!

Being Outside that far up in the air on a helicopter platform with no fence or railing was one intense experience and I LOVED IT! Singapore proves once again its ability to provide the unexpected! Just the fact that parties like that exist is beyond me... Mad Creds!

Anyways, here are some pictures! (Note the F1 GP track below, for tonight its day 1 and the drivers will warm up the track.... going to be AWESOME)

Clockwork

Wise words of the week:

“Time is the chief difficulty of every problem in economics”

-Alfred Marshall as quoted by A. Reisman, Prof. in Health Economics

Thinking of the weekend seems small when you’re writing about the US and EU national debt and potential exchange rate crisis. I find it ironic when thinking about it. I feel as if with whatever we do or chose to do, we are almost always meant to either destroy or fix what we ourselves have created. The only difference is within what dimension or arbitrary lines we are doing it. We create things for which there are imperfections in need of constant mending. But hey, maybe that’s life. It is probably the only thing which still makes us humans and not god like.

Now, perfection may be an idea out of our reach, but maybe that is just what we need it to be. The beauty of things is in its flaws and its broken parts, not what we render as whole. If there were no flaws in the systems we build what would we do? Consider everything being perfect... It’s a scary thought and maybe too philosophical and deep for it to even be healthy to think about. But nonetheless I do in a way hope we never have to reach the point where perfection is in everything and everyone because that in itself wouldn’t be healthy. There is too much pressure in such a life.

It’s weird to say, but I think these last weeks have truly made me love the fact that I chose to study economics! There is always a new problem, something in need of fixing. I feel as though there is a purpose in it… something I feel we all need! But hey, then again, there is always that problem with time! How do we learn everything? How do we stay in tune with these issues without losing the ability to live? I guess that’s another thing to figure out… But in due time of course, for now I’m going to enjoy a nice bit of partying on a helipad on the roof of a 73 story building with a view of Singapore in the night! ; )

So till next time, here are some of those pictures I promised!

All the best from Singapore!

BBQ at Parc Oasis Condominium

Salvador Dali exhibition at Marina Bay

Drinks at Screening Room

Almost there!

Hola,

First, I want to give a shout out to my sister who has her big 25 today! Happy birthday big sis!

Second, the week has finally come to an end and as I look back it wasn't at all as bad as I thought it would be! The two projects/ presentations that I had in Health Economics and International Business Environment are done and turned in for assessment. Though they could have been a bit better, I am pleased with the result and the notion that its over so I can focus on the last two projects which I have to finish next week and present the week after recess! But before I go and do all of that I'm taking a little break from all things school! ''

Tonight I have taekwondo practise and then afterwards dinner with the team, where I will receive my Taekwondo-suit(picture to be posted) along with handing in my registration for grading so I can move up from white belt in october if I pass the test!!! : ) Tomorrow its time for more activities as we head over to the east of singapore for cable wakeboarding and then climb asia to get some gear! After that I'm heading for Andre's condo, Park Oasis, where there is BBQ and chill before we head to the opening and world festival party at Avalon, a new place down by Marina Bay! So from now till sunday there will be no studying for me!

Then next weekend is the F1 Grand Prix in singapore along with the start of recess week where after the F1 race I head to Bali! So almost there and then officially halfway through our semester! It is completely insane how fast time is flying over here, feels like I'll be back home in the snow in notime!

Anywayo, got to jet so i can eat before the practise! But stay tuned as some more sweet visual footage is coming your way!

Cheerio

Blisters... Man I hate them!

So I guess I'm getting a semi flow to this online monologue... Feels good : )

Now buzzing off to more important ventures, namely:

So as you might have read, heard or maybe even dreamt, I have joined the university bouldering(climbing) team so that I will have the skills to both climb and fight(taekwondo)! I suppose I'm just following my childhood dream of becoming a ninja. But thats neither here nor there, for yesterday I had some serious doubts over such possible achievments and if I would ever know the green pastures on the other side of awesomeness.

The thing about mondays practises is that it actually doesnt involve any climbing whatsoever... Instead its all about the physical training(henceforth known as PT), involving 400m intervals, pull-ups, chin-ups(all different kinds of variations on the wall), static chin-ups, and core training! In others words one kick-ass workout :)! Only down side are the blisters, for not only are my feet ridden of the once baby surfaced skin due to our barefoot workout on a 'tennis court' ground in taekwondo, but now my hands will experience the same joy as I climb higher and higher! So in an attempt to become a true man of steel, the goal is to be able to do both taekwondo and bouldering for one practise without getting a single blister on either the hands or the feet! Though a highly uncertain bet against myself as there are soon only 2 months left, do wish me good luck!

Some pictures during the Chin-up session on the workout wall!

Now even though the pain is temporary as far as the blisters are concerned, it does help when you come home and you get to see this thing of beauty which you can let the battle wounds heal in:

Now need to grab school by the horns and study as I'm sitting on the 5th floor of the library! Oh and by the way, I can see Malaysia from here.... gives you a surreal feeling!

All the best and Cheerio

School high times

So we be kickin' it once more in the Nanyang valley as school just won't chillax for more than 2 seconds. Sitting with 4 group projects at the same time isn't exactly the most optimal thing I've had to do in the 21st century, especially not when coming from sweden where we just have one at a time. But with Aerosmith and 'dream on' blasting through the headphones I do find the situation quite ironic. I mean, I always knew what I signed up for by coming here, though I would have hoped for the workload to have been evenly spread out across the semester.

Now instead, I find myself in the global lounge on campus on a sunday morning, while others with nothing to do en up having another blast downtown. But at least I have the good sense to 'dream on' as 'times are changing' because there is a cycle to everything and soon enough I'll have an upswing and this hard months work will give me that sweet ragidy blues of 'sweet emotions'!

Ain't nothin but a NEW thing

So yesterday I think I stretched my legs beyond its supposed normalcy limit, I mean legs aren't supposed to be disjointed like that...

I guess putting it in a more frank way, this whole martial arts and taekwondo adventure is proving to have a few obstacles embedded in it! Kind of makes you feel like your in a movie! You know white boy goes to asia, meets a master of the arts who is extremely wise and looks like Bruce Lee and pushes him to the limit in the process of defeating some eveil kid with a black and much cooler suit than the one that the good guy has... you all know what I mean! No but honstley, the worst thing isn't the whole physical aspect of the sport but the embaracing feeling it brings you when you mess up for everyone to see! For example yesterday, we stood in rows in a squating position practising punshes while yealling "Huuuh!" in unison... and what happens, everyone stops except for me, standing strong while continuing to do the punches and yealling "Huuuh!" in a way that would make the williams sisters proud!.... To say the least, not my finest hour!

On another note as far as activities goes, tomorrow is my first practise with the bouldering(climbing) team which will definetly be an interesting thing to see how it goes! It is almost as if I want to put myself in a tight spot because I think I have picked two of the sports which my body is not coordinated enough to do! But then again what fun would anything be if you were already good at it! I just hope I manage to get the basics so I have something to build on when I get back to sweden : ) It is like with most things these days and that is to try something new and have the guts to stick with it! I guess we'll see where i'm at in two weeks after the ultimate taekwondo challenge where they supposedly push your body to the limit for 1 full day.... should be interesting!

Cheers


P.S.

2.5 weeks till F1 Grand Prix, Singapore
3 weeks till Bali, Indonesia

STARBUCKS study

Its saturday on the 3rd of September and the time here in Singapore is 12.03 P.M and where else to be than studying at starbuck (Jurong Point, Boon Lay).

To tell you the truth, I have for some time now been looking for good places to study! You know those spots where focus, efficiency and learning all come together to form a productive day. Where one can actually go home and feel like you acomplished what you set out to do. Now for those who know me, I am very much a guy who needs my space and quiet in order to get something done. But since arriving in Singapore, spots like the library or quiet rooms have proved to be bad and the feeling of falling behind has been increasingly growing on me. I mean considering the fact that I have tried 4 of the schools libraries and almost always fallen asleep, I guess its safe to say that the old ways must be changed into new.

So here I am, sitting in one of the '4 million' malls eating my cinnamon raisin bagel while sipping on chai feeling groovy and ready for business. All around me people are running from store to store while others are sittning down over a cup of coffee discussing the latest news and gossip. There is some serious life in this town and I LOVE IT!

4 months ago I was stressed and always on the run with something to do or fix. Sitting in a quiet place was my only way out of that, I suppose I felt like I needed it in order to be able to get things done. Now that feeling is gone. Having a lot to do isn't as stressful as it was back then. Instead I think that all of what I did last year along with the summer job at Nordea, really has taught me that irrespective of how difficult something might seem or be at the time, what needs to be done in the end always is.

So here I am! in a crowdy, laoud and all wheels burning kind of a place and all I am thinking of in this 'Starbucks study' is the 4 group projects along with the 2 individual assignments that need to be done! And done they will be!

Red riding lobsters

So he-yah,

Its funny how we as people always think that the next time will be different when going up against nature.... heres this weekends fact: "It Isn't!"

Going to Tioman Island outside the east coast of Malaysia was everything that one could expect of a great little weekend trip! It was amazing and a whole lot of fun with a group of great people which in a more grown up way meant good times with good conversation!


Now, the last time I wrote you was right before we headed out on our journey from campus where I met up with Anina(Swiss), Astrid(Swiss), Wanda(German) and Andre(German) to get going and on our way. This however wasnt the whole group as we on our way met up with Björn(room mate) at Boon lay and then later Peter(Swedish) and Ben(French) at Chinese Garden. At this point, we were all in high spirits as we had managed to get going even though we didnt know much about how we would get to our destination and where we would stay. The only bit of solid knowledge was how to get across the border. But what is life if not a cheap adventure!


Well across the border at johur bahru, we were faced by our first riddle... What do you do when all the buses are fully ?...... Two things, you take a taxi and you eat fat food from dunkin donuts to feel better about paying that little extra!..... and so we did, but only after having bargained our way to a pretty sweet deal of 180 ringits per taxi along with a stop at a hawker centre for some satay, rice noodles and fake DVDs.


Some 2 hours and the best of the 90s music later, we had finally arrived and bought our first beer as we went to look for accomodations in an almost ghostlike town by the name of mersing! Accomodation was found and I soon found myself sharing a bed with 2 other guys for the next 4 hours...


The next day we were finally in Tioman Island at Salang Beach and the weekends adventure could begin! Now I have always had it easy to get tanned and resist the sun without getting burnt, but after a long winter and a summer inside a bank I think my days were numbered.... and so goes the story of a man with becoming a red riding lobster!....

Now i'm sure this would be a kick-ass story, but it starts with white and end with red and im only gonna show you the pictures in between!! ENJOY

The Island

Its been a rough night having finished my paper and packed all the thing before the weekend trip to Tioman Island, only to be woken up and kept awake by the roomies ahead of my 8.30 class this very morning! But I guess thats the price you pay if you choose to live with 7 other people in one apartment...

Moving on there is sun on the horizon... hopefully(now a tropic thunder storm outside) as a few exchange students and I embark on a weekend trip to Tioman Island for some down time in the most chilled way! Basically meaning that I will do nothing except lie on the beach and read some articles on Chinas developing economy : )! Actually really interesting and I look forward to it
--->Me = Geek!

Any ways its gonna be a good time and I'll be sure to tell you all about it when I get back next week! Till then in case I dont hear from you, good morning, good evening and goodnight!

True and false

I guess we start with the bad news....

False- "All asians are very studious and smart studying every waking moment of the day"

I mean sure there are a lot of smart ones but the fact that they would study every hour of the day is completely false... Walking through any library and even around the benches outside, you see people having their head on their books sleeping! some for 15 minutes some for 30min and some even go for the hour mark.
Yesterday I was studying in the library and on the desk next to mine, there were people having a sleep relay!!! First one goes and sleeps then afterwards another and another and another! Kept going all day! Even on the buses and trains to school you see people sleeping, it is worse than siesta time in the hispanic countries!

True- "Asians are good at martial arts and they do it since they were babies"

Maybe not all of them do martial arts, but most of them have done it at some point! I guess its inevitable here! Something which confirms what I always hoped was true! On that note I started my Taekwondo class yesterday and today I can barely walk!! I have blisters and a lot of pain in my body! hope i get on time to school!!

Fun thing I heard yesterday: "If you think you are good at something, there is always an asian girl that is better"

Though still unproven, I feel like this has a high confirmation rate!

Time to head for school and strategic management!

In the AM to the PM- week 2

(Pulau Ubin, Sinngapore)

Its the start of week 3 of school here in Singapore and I am yet to tell you about week 2 and all that has happened here from that point and onwards! I suppose im not the most updating fella' in the blog world, but that just means that im doing something which must be a positive thing.

Week two started off in quite the hectic mode and I have had a lot to do as far as school and activities goes, something which also holds true for this week! There is a pilling up of school work which is giving me some concern, but hopefully I will manage and my focus will this week go towards school. On another note, this has been orientation week for the new year and I have decided to join a few clubs at school! One of whom I know for sure i'll be active in and that is the bouldering club(Climbing) which is quite the work out after having been to the welcome climb on thursday last week. I mean some of these guys just climb without using any legs so its quite intimidating at the same time as its motivating. The two other clubs im trying out this week is Taekwondo and Lifeguard club. Obviously martial arts seems like a must when in asia, but becoming the new david hasselhoff is also an equally as exciting prospect. I mean being a certified lifeguard would be quite cool and the training seems to be quite rough!

Moving on to adventures and travel, I went to Pulau Ubin yesterday for some mountainbiking with a group of other exchange students and i must say it was quite sweet as well as sweaty! The island was pretty nice, even though a lot of the time places in singapore have a tendency of being too fixed up and not nature preserved giving you that superficial feeling instead of raw paradise vibes. But all in all it is something for anyone looking to pick up a bit of sweat while being in Singapore. Here are some sweet pics for your eyes truly(also see above):

Also on another note, being swedish and around the month of August, we in the flat decided to organize a 'Kräftskiva' or crayfish party last friday which ended up being a great success! I think we got some around 30-35 people in the end which was a good turnout! I also got to meet one of my old friends from Kungshomens Gymnasium which studies at the Imperial College of London and is currently on an internship here in Singapore! I mean how small can this world be? After the crayfish party we went to Arab street for some food before heading to Blue Jazz for some live tunes! See Below!

Now given I'm not the most updating fella' I have a goal this week of trying to find a better continuity in my writting and henceforth I shall write something each day in the hope that I will get some form of routine! I am also planning a photo operation of where i live as well as the school so that I can show everyone where I spend my time here in singapore.

Some other fun plans that have taken place this week as far as activities goes in the future are:

-Bought a three day ticket for the Formula 1 Grand Prix here in singapore 23-25 September

-Planing a trip this weekend to Tioman Island Malaysia

-Buying tickets today for Bali, Indonesia, for our recess week 26-30 September

Now this is all I have time for right now as i have to get going to school, but stay tuned for more tropical hits from Singapore!

Stay classy

Singapore!

Nationalday!

Singapores Nationaldag! : )

MUJALHA! Singapores Nationaldag!

Giving in

Having opportunities like these are a dime in a dussin that only so and so many people ever get the chance to do. So why when they are given do we sometimes feel so distant from it, as if we can't fully appreciate what is right infront of us. Finding ourselfs with cold feet feeling unmeasurably anxious as if we had something stuck in our throats unable to stop thinking about everything, analyzing every move, every decision, every thought.



I guess what i'm trying to say, is that taking a step out of your comfort zone landing halfway around the world without as much of an atom size of an idea of what to expect is not all a walk on smooth white clouds. Leaving us only one choice, finding a distraction.

So what I have been doing during the last couple of weeks is just full on giving in to everything and anything! I guess in a way, I have tried to become as much of a YES-man as possible and for those who know me, it ain't always that familiar of a sight. Now aside from that I have been doing other more serious stuff like trying to find a place to stay, Registering courses etc.... But I choose not to write about it as it is what has a lot of the time been known as the down part

of this adventure and it shall henceforth not be mentioned again.

Instead we focus on the good parts, and those involve the list below from which I will in a perfectly normal manor go through one by one:
-Sentosa
-THE Bridge
-Mussie(German fellow)
-The Italians
-Mayfair
-National Day
-My courses

1. Sentosa:
Sentosa is known as the south east most point of asia, but for me I couldn't really care less. For me sentosa was all and everything that i needed for one day of escape from all other problems since arriving to Singapore. It was a chance to finally just lay on a beach, swim in the ocean and just giving in to a more peaceful state of mind. No school, No apartment, No Job... No nothing, just chill!

2. THE Bridge
The bridge is kind of central if you want any form of social life and do not live on campus. It is basically a bridge or sanctuary in singapore residing in Clark Quay where littering, drinking and many other things illegal suddenly aren't so anymore. At least by the look of things. It is also a major hang out spot for international and western students here in singapore. A place where a 'hello' to just about anyone always leads to something more than pure and utter ignorance on behalf of the recipient of the 'hello'. Here is where I have met most of the people that i now know!

3. Mussie
Mussie is someone i actually met virtually on skype before I even landed here and to be frank it was probably just blind luck which led to bad luck and then good luck again. He is probably one of the most socially capable people i've met and thank god i met him, because if I hadn't I probably wouldn't know enough people to hang out with. Him included! The only downside was that i didnt get to rent a room in his apartment due to the landlord.
4. The Italians
I dare say the italians, because they all study at the university in Lugano, Switzerland, and they are some of the most fun people to hang around. Plus being with them makes you really want to learn how to speak italian, not only with words, but the gestures and everything. They consist of Riccardo, Paolo and Daniele. They will surely be mentioned later on.

5. Mayfair
Mayfair is where i live with 7 other swedish people in a 4 bedroom apartment!!!!! Its a bit crowded, but it is at this point better than nothing. Now I know that I told almost everyone I really wanted to stay with other nationalities, but to be frank I didnt know how hard that would be unless I didnt get a room on campus. So for now Mayfair with its pool, tenniscourt and bowlingalley is my temporary home!!

6. National Day
YES, Mujalah!! I got to experience Singapores National day and boy it was fun! You can definetly tell they put a lot of effort into it! Though I was still a little bit disapointed with the fireworks along with the fact that I didnt get to see the military parade due to sold out tickets! But i'll post pictures tomorrow so stay tuned and give me the verdict!

7. My Courses
I am glad to say that when it came to the academics I was lucky enough to not have to deal with the add/drop period as I already had my courses pre-registered.
They are:

• Political Economy of East Asia


• Health Economics


• Strategic Management


• International Business Environment

So all in all, I think the only way out of the hard times is in... giving in and pushing away whatever bad conscience you have that is making you feel like you need to be in control every step of the way and just realizing that we are not always meant to control everything. It goes againt the simple rules of nature. Sometimes we just have to let go and enjoy the moment without hesitation or care. We have to as someone told me when I was in need, "look up and see the positive around you, and you will soon see the world smiling back"

Beginnings for a beginner

Starting is always the hardest part, I mean where do you begin after one week of ups and downs of stress and serenity, of Yes and No, of just pure confusion in a small but in so many other ways big country!
Well, as we have been taught through the short span of our time on this little planet, a simple Hello will most oftenly suffice as a good way to start something new... Hence

HELLO!

Its been seven days since I left for my 4 months of study in this extremely hot and humid place called Singapore and boy is this one melting pot of all that is globalized. There is a little bit of everything and anything wherever you look. So for starters, the biggest challenge so far has been just finding a place to stay, which I can gladly say we did do yesterday(And by we I mean Björn and I, my 23 year old study buddy from Linköping University who is also doing his X-change adventure in singapore).

Now as it seems, this was a poor time to start telling the tale of this weeks adventure because we really have to get going from our hostel to the new place and then head to IKEA(the home away from home) in order to buy a couple of pillows and other necessities, but I promise to get back to you as soon as I can with pictures and stories of The Italians, a man named Mussie and a campus only made for people with mad skills in map reading!

Till then,

Cheers and know that all is good in singapore!
