Well, we have safely made it to Singapore. We have settled into our new apartment and are learning the area. People are very friendly, weather is super muggy and hot, and the cars are expensive! Adam has experienced driving on the left side of the road, but I'm gonna wait a little before I brave it. He did very well, other than a few accidental times of turning on the windshield wipers instead of the turn signal! But, it was something to laugh about:)

We have pretty much adjusted to the time difference. We have been out shopping for groceries and household goods and tried some of the local restaurants. The grocery stores have a lot of the same name brands as back home, but taste a little different. We have decided that everything is a little more bland and not quite as flavorful as it is at home in the States. It is still good though. We managed to find a Hooters restaurant last night! The menu was very similar, but the food just a little different tasting. A mug of beer was more expensive than the meal!

Adam has been in to work several times and seems to be getting caught up on some of his work. Today we are expecting our things to be delivered that we shipped over here a couple of weeks ago. More unpacking and settling in:)

Here are some pictures to enjoy!

Hi Nicole and Adam,
Thank you for sending the pictures. The view from you living room is amazing.
Nicole did you get your luggage finally? Sounds like you both have adjusted really well.
Our weather is hot and muggy here in Indiana. Have a great weekend.
