Spring Break in Chiang Mai and Singapore
Well, better late then never, right? It's been several weeks now since spring break has ended, but it feels a little longer than that. We had a great time seeing family in Singapore, new places, and having some pretty cool learning experiences.
Here are some recollections along with pictures:
The Friday that school ended, Abigail and I left for the airport to catch our flight to Singapore. Abigail's cousin, Mahalee, her husband, Benoit, and their new baby, Linnea, have recently moved to the Nanyang district because Benoit took a teaching position at Nanyang Technical University as a professor of engineering or some such discipline that involves tinkering around with things so that the work better. They have a nice, big flat in a very small but clean, fresh, and lively country. If you like a constant temperature of 85 degrees, humidity, and daily rainstorms during which the nearby sea seems to transported to the sky and into the neighborhoods, then Singapore might be your dream location. I happened to like the weather as it gave me a legitimate excuse to walk around in nothing but shorts. I also liked the rainstorms and the house lizard that gandered on by while I was using the john.
Here's the family:
Although they're all pretty cute by most standards, one of them stands out, so here's another one of Linnea:
We stayed in Singapore for only one night on our way out as we had plans to meet up with our friend Chris Fazenbaker in Chiang Mai, Thailand for a photography class. Needless to say, we had a nice first visit with Benoit and Mahalee and even hashed over the idea of possibly moving to Singapore some day. We shall see.
Next, we flew to Chiang Mai. More to come in the next entry.
But first, one more of Linnea!
