Update

So it rains a lot here, everyday it rains...
I wake up to beautiful blue skies with big poetic clouds, and by 2 pm, it's raining and grey.
Good thing I get in my pool time early!

I just want to say, the grass ain't always more fun on the other side. I am so bored! Nobody is hiring because of the holidays, plus, I am not considered a "local" which is all that is being hired currently.  I clean, cook from scratch and clean. I am looking into taking sewing classes and the rest of the day is spent online looking for jobs or playing on Pinterest.

I can't wait to see my family again, and my friends. Thank god Alissa, Jason, Jamie and her Jason are coming to visit! I need it!

NOT complaining about how easy my life is by any means, but it's no fun not having your own money to kill time with ;)

I miss my American peeps and dog, but this adventure is so awesome, it keeps me sane and excited for the future.

Thanks for the support y'all! xoxo

Today.

Asians eat some weird crap.
They also have no sense of walking or talking or standing or being in public.
Singapore: 1  Brittany: 0

I think I hate blogging.

I don't feel witty enough when I blog, and we all know I am witty, funny & good with words.

See, you smiled at that (cause it's true)

I made it to Singapore but BARELY.
It's officially been a week and I feel like it's been a month-not sure if that's good or bad. After losing my passport (only to find it in my slipper ONCE I got to Singapore) and having to cancel a really expensive flight-on top of the stress of saying goodbye yet again to my loved ones, pack a lot of crap in a tiny suitcase, sell my car, close all my accounts in the US and see that I am way below poverty level since I haven't worked since June, I finally made it here.
New passport: $195 and the gas it took to drive 1.5 hours to get it.
Cancel and rebooking of flights: $1700+
Misc. spenditures: $200+

Oh! ALSO, after getting my passport in hand and booking new flight, I thought I was in the clear. I was about to enjoy a lemon crepe with fresh strawberries with my girl Andrea when I got an email from Travelocity saying "You ain't flying tomorrow young lady"...in a nutshell, Travelocity sucks so I had to wake up Kris at 3 am for him to handle this situation because I was officially, MELTING THE EFF DOWN.

Were these all "signs" that I wasn't supposed to move here? I couldn't get that out of my head.
Having an entire row of three seats to myself on the leg from Tokyo was sooo the turning point of my luck.

NOW, if I could only get a job and pay all my debts that are not quite slowly mounting :)

Here is where I found that blasted passport! Grrr....
