It’s been half a week since Han arrived and I think she’s really enjoying her first taste of Asia. To be fair, Singapore is probably a good place to start as it has enough Western influence in the city to reduce her culture shock. So far, she’s been to the temple to pray, shopped in street markets, ate in hawker centers… Yeah, I think she’s doing just fine. The thing she’s enjoying most is the weather and the low cost of living. She just can’t get over the fact that shopping here is a lot cheaper than in the UK. Just wait till I take her around in Bangkok. :P Oh, this will be so entertaining. She came with a small suitcase. Mom and I already told her that she’ll need to get herself another bag before the end of next week cause one is definitely not enough. :D
I left on the 23rd so it’s been little over a week since I’ve properly spoken to T. He called briefly and mentioned that he finally managed to persuade his dad to get the internet in their Zimbabwe home… Talk about zero necessity base! I'd die without the net at home. Apparently, now they have to negotiate what type of internet to get. *grins* I’m not laughing… What are you talking about?
Long distance relationships have always been tough but this one seems easier to cope with. Perhaps it’s cause I’ve only been away from him a little over a week but they always say that the first few days is always the hardest. I think it helps that we communicate daily and the fact that I’ll be back in two months definitely helps too. The thought of going back to London seems scarier everyday but my other option is even scarier to accept. Most of my friends have moved on or gone home so I have very few friends left back in London. Change is always tough but in a way, it’s what I thrive on.
