Highlights of Week 5

On Monday (June 25) we visited a local elementary school after classes. While there we were shown around by 5th year prefects. The children were very polite and answered all of our questions (even the hard hitting ones).

On Wednesday (June 27) after our tour of the local arts studio, Theatreworks, a group of friends and I decided to celebrate Hallie's 20th birthday in style. She wanted to go reverse bungy jumping so WE DID! (sorry mom)

Priya, Hallie, and I getting ready for launch...

Later that night we decided to visit Raffles Hotel and try a Singapore Sling. This is on a list of 1000 things to do before you die... so we had to! It was a lot of fun...we all dressed up. :)

Liz and I being goofy...


On Friday we had our second visit with the NUS Muslim Society. We visited Dossalum Mosque to see the school and the Friday prayers.

My favorite part was interacting with the preschool class!

My favorites! they were inseparable...

Later we heard a lecture on Islam...

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Husna, our guide. We hope to spend more time together before we leave!

Friday night some friends and I went to a DJ battle at a local club. It was actually for Angelo's research on the hip hop culture in Singapore. While there we unexpectedly met a VJ from MTV Asia. He was really cool and even put us on TV!! It was so much fun. Then we were just talking to some locals and found out later they were the friends and family of the winner of the competition! We felt like VIPS that night...

More to come...

Lots of Love,
Sarah :)
