House Hunting

Finding a place to rent for expats is quite simple.  Providing the allowable price range and basic criteria, the real estate agent will arrange viewing.  We took two days of viewing to select a location and to put an offer to secure a place to live. In general, the housing is very expensive in Singapore.

Landed in Singapore

After a month long exhausted packing to vacate our resident in Topeka, Kansas, we finally landed in Singapore in the early morning of June 6 after 17 plus hours non-stop fly from Newark airport.  It was a very long trip but I almost slept through it because I have not had a good night sleep since we started the moving process.

 Arrival

Now I am here, in Singapore to start another chapter of my life as an expat dependent.  I don’t know how soon I can adjust / settle down in the new place but I do know that I want to enjoy every day and make the best out of this journey.
