My 1. Week – A GREAT week

As you probably all realize, I am still amazed by all that I have been confronted with during my first week here…first impression: it’s HOT ! and HUMID ! and GREEN ! VERY GREEN ! second impression: (after ca. 2 hours, when I went for my first local meal: THE FOOD IS GREAT; EXOTIC …it is SO INTERESTING to try all the new spicies, vegetables, sea food, sushi, chinese food, indian food, thai food…etc etc etc And in addition you can eat really cheap here…ofcourse it is all very relative…I mean: all German interns who I talk to ( and live with, since the apartments where I stay are all filled up with German interns ) consider the prices here to be EXTREMELY low ! but … but. for a Polish girl it is certainly not EXTREMELY cheap…it is just…lets say…not tooo expensive. And, its true that one can eat delicious things for quite little money, especially comparing to Western Europe.

Well, what else….as I have already mentioned, the plaza apartments are full of nice German interns. The majority is DaimlerChrysler ofcourse…but competitors like VW has also strong representation.

I get along with them really well…however, it is certainly very important to look around and try to meet with people who grew up here and know the completely other side of singaporian reality…, try to understand what kind of poeple they are, what they think, how they live…thats something I am defenitely going to work on here!!!

So I even already had some experience: for example, a rather private but still big party and many many sweet small, “nicely shaped(:))” very young Singaporian girls, dancing and drinking POLISH VODKA(Wyborowa) !!! and believe me, not many European gentlemen can stay indifferent to that… the Ladies here in general dress nice adn classy, they really take care of themselves, have nice clothes…make careeres…etc etc (emancipation has a strong meaning here defenitely!). It happens more often than one thinks to hear from a European guy: “I am defenitely going to marry an Asian girl” but, I am pretty sure, we, European women will not be forgotten in this Asian Beauty Jungle…who knows, maybe we can even be discovered again, as much more beautiful and interesting than somebody could think well, thats at least what I hope for

I willg o to bed now…Its getting really late now…still it is so wierd to realize that Patric has still a half of the day ahead of him… the 7 hours time difference is really A LOT…never realized that. And jet leg ? it may turn out to be a pretty big problem for many of us. Approximately for a week I was falling asleep only at the sunrise and was terribly tired during the whole day here, when my friends in Europe sleep like babies…but, now I seem to have adjusted

hmm…sometimes I imagine I am the only polish girl on this island…which of course is not true…but …almost true good night , and let me hear from you!

A ja zaczne po Polsku, jako ze nie mam zbyt wielu okolicznosci do uzywania tego jezyka. Stronka zapowiada sie interesujaco, bede uwaznie sledzil jej rozbudowe
So… as Irish usually say in that situation… well… i don`t really know what they say, becouse i know more Spanish and German people in here, and anywhere on the street u if speak polish, at least 50% of poeple around u will understand what u r saying… but what was i talking about… Getting to the point. I`ll write sth more after my exams… In Ireland unfortunately university stuff doesn`t really knows what “erasmus student” mean. And we really have to study. But, anyway, whan i`m done with my exams, i`ll show up again.

Good luck Sosenko.

7 hours time difference is not that much – just imagine being in Australia like me – 10 hours ahead – it’s like living in a different world! It sure is, but a pretty nice one in fact
Grettings from 75% humidity – not as bad as in Singapore but I can at least understand what you mean – sweating without even moving!
cheers steffen

Dear Sosenko and all,
I’m so glad that you fancy Sing:) Saying that it’s hot out there seems to me a little unbelivable… considering my last adventures with buying new ski equipment (toooo expensive for my pocket) now I’m more for winter than for summer. At least during the weekends. Food from East must be very delicious (when I was living with Chinese I had a small impression of this cuisine – you have no idea what you’re eating but you still like it ) Sooo good luck, keep it going and for sake!! put the pictures from Asia because as you see poor Marek is already confused.
Un bacio a Patric :*

Chinese food in Dresden: red beans with chocolate pudding and seaweed soup with “gepockelt Eisbein” As far, as I can remember…:)
Aga, take care.
