Joanna's Singapore adventures

I've been home for a bit over 2 months now. In that time I have spent a few weeks back in my hometown and then moved back to Melbourne where I have started another semester of university.

Coming back to Bendigo was a challenge because it is so very different to Singapore. The culture shock of coming home was worse than that of going to Singapore. A lot of the shock was little things like getting used to hearing Australian accents again all the time and craving Singaporean foods. Being isolated from my Singapore friends and mostly isolated from my Melbourne friends made it a lonely few weeks.

After yet another lot of packing (my 5th move in 13 months!) I moved back to Melbourne and the hall I had previously stayed at. The weeks since then have been busy with orientation activities, meeting new friends and reconnecting with old ones, not to mention plenty of uni work.

Although it is good to be back in Melbourne, I do often find myself looking wistfully at the airfare price board in the campus travel agent's window. Hopefully it won't be too far into the future that I'm able to bring you Joanna's Singapore Adventures- Part 2!
