These are a few of my favorite things...

What, you ask, are some of the things that I will miss the most about Singapore?  Here are a few of them...

Friends
I already mentioned this a recent post but will definitely miss my friends the most.

Culture immersion
I will miss all of the different cultures that live so cohesively in Singapore.  There are such distinct groups...Chinese, Malay, Indian, everybody else...plus all of the expats.  The influence on the buildings...the food...the clothing...the language...is present every single day in multiple ways.
City living
It has been fun living in the center of it all.  While this has also provided me with some frustrations it has been nice being within walking distance of just about everything.

Public Transportation
I love not having to rely on a car to get me around.  I made the decision when I chose my apartment to live close to a bus stop as well as near an MRT station.  It has really paid off.
Travel
The ability to just hop over to Bali...or Bangkok...or Ho Chi Minh City...or Siem Riep for a weekend has been amazing.  Having so many different cultures/countries so close has been wonderful!
A few more Singapore specific things...
~All of the amazing parks and green space
~Curry puffs
~Gold class movies
~100 plus (is a soda only available here)
~Dumplings
~Chili sauce (there are a million different kinds here)
~All of the free art exhibits in Singapore
~Sunday morning walks along East Coast Park or the river

I'm sure that there will be a lot of other things that I'll notice that I miss once I get back to the US...however...there will be lots of things that I will be so excited to come back to...maybe a post for another day...
