back stateside

Back in the US, or state-side as the Singaporeans call it. Home sweet home.

Jetlagged? Maybe just a bit... I shouldn't have stayed up until 5am last night and I should have remembered to open our blinds before I went to sleep. We both woke up 4pm-ish today... 8am in Singapore. Oops!

K immediately missed the Southeast Asian weather (especially since our house takes a while to heat up). I miss the heat and warmth, but not the humidity that accompanied that heat.

We won't miss the pollution or doing laundry by hand and waiting 24+ hours for it to dry. (I love my washer and dryer!)

We will miss the yummy cheap foods and drinks. Travellers' diarrhea hits something like 30-40% of travellers to the region. We were fully prepared with Immodium and pills prescribed by our doctor. But we were lucky... none of us had any stomach problems, not even just regular diarrhea. So no days without good food ^o^

We'll also miss the days of just running around and experiencing other cultures and living environments. 20+ consecutive days of newness everyday... ah, life will seem boring for a little while.
