"Hello" is Singaporean for Hello

I've made it safely to Singapore, and yes, it's a little bit hotter and humid than in the Midwest. I like it though, seemingly more so than those who live here permanently. Any public building you walk into is air conditioned so heavily that it is necessary to bring a long-sleeve shirt to wear inside, while outside it is well over 90-degrees.

There's a nice balance here between greenery and skyscrapers, and it's definitely as clean as everyone says. From what i've encountered, citizens are expected to know and follow the rules. There aren't big task forces sweeping the neighborhoods to make sure you're not chewing gum.

I haven't had a chance to explore too much yet - my body is taking a few days to adjust to the 13-hour time difference, but I have gotten to see a fair amount. Tomorrow my uncle's going to give me a tour on his motorbike, and from there, I'll be off on my own to explore.
