It’s easy – 7-16 September is denoted Grand Prix Season in Singapore. In other words, along with the rest of Singapore, I’m preparing for the Formula 1 Singapore GP! Even though the highlight of this week-long fest is the 2018 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix (Oh yeah, that’s a long name), there are […]
There were just some minor problems when moving in to the apartment at NTU, a broken tap in the kitchen that sprayed water all over the wall when used and some termites living in the wooden frame of the bed in the spare bedroom that we found after a couple of weeks. Searching around the […]
As part of the Grand Prix Season Singapore 2018, Sandsation at Siloso Beach on Sentosa had a Marvel theme this year. This is Southeast Asia’s biggest sand festival. No better than to hang out at the beach and enjoy some sand sculptures at the same time! As local residents, we even had the pleasure to enjoy […]
Between 17-25 August 2018, the Singapore Night Festival took place on the streets in-between Bugis, Orchard Road and Chijmes. There is something special with every city when night falls. That is when these metropolitan cities around the world really show their true self. It is during this time the city is shown in its full […]
To work or stay for a longer period of time in Singapore you, of course, need a visa. The visa application to work in Singapore is fairly straight forward (if you have been in the “getting visa business” before) and having NTU as a sponsor made the process really easy. However, since I was going […]
Today, August 9, is a public holiday here in Singapore and the National Day celebration is all over the island. We asked around a little bit and decided to join the celebration by going downtown, walking along Singapore River and watching the celebration and the fireworks around Marina Bay. So, congratulations Singapore on your 53rd […]
Yesterday evening we arrived in Singapore and got the key to our new apartment at Nanyang Heights on the NTU Campus. It was a fairly smooth trip from Umeå to Singapore. Lovisa took her first couple of flights with ease and slept through, when not eating or charming the flight attendants. Liquid soap, laundry detergent, […]
There is a lot to think about when moving abroad with the whole family. But after months of planning, applying for visas, looking for housing, everything is in place and now we’re (almost) packed – two bags, a baby car seat in a cardboard box, a pram and a lot of carry-on. We booked the […]
Det är väldigt enkelt att ta sig från Changi till Singapore centrum eller till NTU med lokaltrafik. Men, Metron slutar gå någon gång just före midnatt, bussarna lika så. Därefter finns bara ett fåtal nattbussar till delen av Singapore som NTU ligger i. NTU ligger i Jurong West, en stadsdel som ligger nästan längst västerut i […]
Yesterday I booked some tickets to the No. 1 event in Singapore during September, the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix at Marina Bay Street Circuit. I have been to Singapore many times before and ever since the Singapore GP started a decade ago, I have always wanted to go there in September and experience Formula […]
