Snacks from My Home Country

My internship company suggested that I bring snacks from my home country, which I did, I promise…However, I kind of ate them all:)

So, my aunt, who lives in Australia, gave me snacks from Australia that she happened to bring when visiting Singapore. I also attempted to purchase US-like snacks in Singapore and successfully found some. As a result, I will be bringing snacks to Kenya from Australia and Singapore, when my home country is the US…

This is a scenario that actually occurs frequently in my family. For example, my Aunt in Canada will bring maple syrup to Singapore when she visits my family there. Then, when my Grandmother comes to visit us in the US, she will bring that syrup to us. Unlike most families who simply go to the grocery store to buy maple syrup, we have to wait for it to travel around the world first just because it is cheaper in Canada…

In other news, I got my last Rabies shot today! (yay, I’m done!!!) This shot was not actually recommended to me when I went to the travel nurse in the US; however, in Singapore they strongly recommended that I get it. The doctor I talked in Singapore said that he actually sees a lot of bites from ravenous animals. He said that he always feels sorry for telling people who did not get the vaccination beforehand that treatment costs 1000s of dollars. So, I ended up getting the shots. It is just interesting to see the differences in the recommendation here compared to the US.

More observations later!

Happy Adventuring,
