two years in singapore and counting
two years ago today, we arrived in singapore. and, what a colorful and eventful couple of years it has been. somehow, i have found it to be fairly easier to integrate here than in germany — no language barrier, easier to make friends, easier to navigate even for a novice expat, and being an asian myself, the culture shock hasn’t been too much. although we still sometimes feel like tourists, and there are still a lot of places in this little island that we haven’t explored, i think we’ve come to the point of calling singapore home, however temporary we might feel it to be. in fact, living among the locals and jan going to a local school make us feel like we’ve successfully integrated ourselves into the local society.
naturally, the past two years did not pass without any challenges or misgivings, but nothing that probably wouldn’t have happened were we living elsewhere.
two years. not that long, actually, but so far it’s proving to be an educational and entertaining experience.
