Our good friends Emily and Philip are having their own international adventure in Nairobi (they both teach at the international school there), and they recently had a great post about their thoughts, a month in, on work, the people, and being ex-pats. Reading their blog has made me realize how quickly all of this is becoming "normal". It's not that I've forgotten that at home you don't have to turn on a water heater before you take a shower and turn it off again when you're done. It just doesn't seem blog-worthy. And yet, I'm interested in all the little details of their lives.
So, this is an open Q&A. What would you like to know? What would you like to see? Philip had requested pictures of downtown Singapore at some point, and that's on the list. What else? What are we forgetting to tell you about because it's already normal to us? If you can't think of anything specific, you can always just say hi.

I want to know if you have gotten used to the grocery shopping. I can't even tell you how amazed people were when I related to them how you have to go to the pharmacy to buy gum. Are there any other restrictions there? Can you buy bibles in Singapore? Can you openly witness?

I want to know about fashion related stuff. What do people wear? What do the children wear? I hear they have amazing fabric stores and tailors there... have you experienced it yet?

HI. I agree, grocery shopping interests me. A picture of the inside of your fridge would be nice. I'm nosy.

Psalms 139:9-10 If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
