Here we go, blog is up. I'm starting to get all excited - next Tuesday I will get on a plane from Frankfurt to Singapore, which is going to be my home for the next 4.5 months. I'm doing an exchange semester at the National University of Singapore, starting August 6th. Here in Göttingen, Germany, I study Social Anthropology and Comparative Religion Sciences at the Georg August Universität Göttingen. After my exchange semester in Singapore, I plan to do 2.5 months of volunteer work in Japan. I'm 24, and about to leave Europe for the first time in my life.
But first, lots of tedious paperwork. Argh, bureaucracy! The Uni here wants proof of me studying down there so I can be granted a lower semester fee, even though this exchange is based on a memorandum of understanding between the Department of Social Anthropology here and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in Singapore; and there's some legal trouble with my former landlord, who has been owing me and my former roommate money for over a year now... but thankfully, most other stuff (exams, anyone?) has already been sorted out, so apart from that stuff and getting all my crap moved from this apartment to some storage somewhere for the next 7 months, all that's left for me to do is - farewell parties!
