Today is the last day of our nine-month research trip. I finished
research in Singapore on Thursday and later that night Grace got an email offering
her a job in Madison. So this trip is ending
in a way that will set us up well for next year. Time has flown by in part because
the seasons change in a way that’s new to us, from rainy to dry, with not much of
a change in temperature. It’s felt like a perpetually hot July since we
left the U.S. We’re expecting to be quite cold this summer since we are used to
days in from the mid 80s to the upper 90s and humidity over 90% (we thought it felt cool yesterday morning when it was only 80 degrees).
We’re leaving Singapore at 1:00am
tonight and arriving in Chicago on Monday afternoon. Counting our long layover
in Hong Kong, our trip from Singapore to Dodgeville will take about 36 hours. We’ll
post one more update after we return to the U.S. Below are some remaining photos from
our time in Singapore.
