Marina Bay

Alright, I'm not gonna lie, my city is pretty awesome. That Singapore sun is killer though, I definitely got a sunburn out here. While the rest of my school is away exploring the world, I've stayed in Singapore for the week to explore the visual arts community right here in good old SG. Our group headed out to Marina Bay to spend hours painting and scavenger-hunting (yes this is where the sunburn comes in). I grabbed the most delicious popsicle I've ever had in my life while we were out--coconut milk frozen solid on a stick. How amazing does that sound? Next week it's back to work, and the week after that is the International Association of Southeast Asian Schools varsity dance performance--gah!

One of the best things about Bali is how insanely cheap everything is--if you know how to bargain for it! Offer them half of what they're asking, and when they say no, just walk away. Most likely, they'll call you back within seconds and say okay. That's how I managed to get so many silver bracelets and rings, which are all beautiful and I now wear one of each on a daily basis. Keeping it simple (stupid) with a white blouse and black Topshop hotpants, but when you're off for a visit in the Sacred Monkey Jungle, too much color and sparkle would draw the wrong kind of attention (and by that I mean monkeys climbing all over me, no thanks).
