Hipsters, Nightclubs, and there was class in there somewhere, I'm sure

Well the first week of classes are over, not that it felt like class at all. The two weeks are without Tutorial sections (like Quiz Sections back at UW), so not only is it an easy first class, but I only was actually in school three times this week. That's not the only reason it didn't feel like school though...

Wednesday night is "ladies night" at almost all of the night clubs in Singapore, meaning that often students go out on these nights as there are great prices and ladies get in free (I say "great prices" in comparison to normal, which doesn't mean they're actually great). On top of that, this last Wednesday, there was a free entry guest list opened up to Exchange Students, as kind of a "Welcome to Singapore" gesture.

I spent my first night out on the town in Singapore at the Avalon night cub. A great and stylish place located in one of the greatest spots in the city: on the water of Marina Bay, surrounded by the city lights of the Singapore high rises, and the Marina Bay Sands hotel. The lights and music, stylish design, and glass walls give the club a great feel and a great view to everyone, no matter where they are in the main club area.

It was a fun gathering of many of the exchange students, and a great night! There are many other hot spots that I have yet to go to that are key parts of Singapore's night life; including the Altitude Bar (on the 71st floor), the Eski Bar (Singapore's Ice Bar), and Clarke Quay (which is where many of the night clubs are located). I'll let you know more about them when I visit! But it'll be hard to top Avalon, it seems like it will be easily one of my favorite clubs, based on style and location alone. Check my Facebook photos if you want to see more!

Aside from all of that, I visited the local Starbucks to get a taste from home, write more of my book (which I just finished editing the first third!), and attempt to be even more hipster as I write more entries to my hipstery blog (Yeah, Keren, I said it. Hope you're happy). I would also like to add, that I wasn't the only hipster at that Starbucks, just saying. But despite its hipster nature and less than comical posts, I would like to say thank you to everyone who has been reading and following my posts and my trip. I had not expected so many people to be interested, thanks! I'll try to keep them entertaining!

Tomorrow I will be going to Sentosa, the resort island just off the coast of Singapore, for a Business School Orientation and a beach party. It's a tough life I lead, I know. Stay tuned!
