The entrance to the Yale-NUS office |
Disembarking was extremely easy and fast, as we did not have to wait at all, but walked right off the ship and through Singapore immigration. Down to the bottom floor to get our luggage and customs, then a taxi to Sheila's apartment.
No one
was answering their phones (yes, my phone does work in Singapore,
with a global sim card) so I went looking and ended up in Pericles'
office, where his secretary took me up to his apartment to get the
key. All this was in the same building, while Tanis sat and watched
our luggage outside. We are in a very nice apartment used for
college visitors, with a full kitchen, ceiling fans and air
conditioning. Wireless included, but somewhat unreliable, as it
keeps kicking us off. In addition, we are about 25' from Pericles
and Sheila's apartment.

We
walked through the NUS (National University of Singapore) campus to a
convenience store to get some things, including cough syrup for
Tanis, got lost on the way back, but made it just fine. Rested until
everyone was home.
A very tasty dinner |
We had a
very nice dinner at Sheila's and finally met Siddhartha, but Maya was
at a sleep-over, so we won't see her until tomorrow.
