Independence Day

Congrats CT. You are finally independent!

Step 1 - check the bus route

Step 2 - Hop on

We take getting around Singapore forgranted. It's so easy isn't it? Jump onboard the ever efficient MRTs or the frequent aircon buses. Just a quick tap on the EZ Link card to board and alight. How difficult can that be?

Well, it can be daunting if English is not your lingua franca and you are barely familiar with landmarks. Does not help too that most MRT stations look exactly the same and the sign boards are in English. The announcements are also in English so if you've spend all of your life in the countryside of Cambodia where transportation is often the bicycle, the bullock cart or simply walking, finally learning how to get around in Singapore is a huge achievement.

CT after 3 weeks, finally tried travelling by herself. Armed with a mobile phone, just in case for those wandering moments, she actually made it to my home and back. We are all so proud of her and especially her host parents, SC and R who have faithfully drove her everywhere, everyday. Their car can finally get some rest...

Independence Day has arrived for her, and we celebrate with great joy!
