why singapore?

I have lived all my life in Spain, and have had the opportunity to travel to several countries, but Asia remained still undiscovered for me, which did nothing more than increase my curiosity. And that was precisely what made me decide I wanted to go to Asia on exchange, but the following question was... where in Asia? China? India? Japan? I finally decided on Singapore because of two main reasons: English was an overall spoken language in the island and its location made it perfect for travelling around.

Great, now you know I was curious about Asia, I wanted to practice my English and I wanted to travel a lot, but... why did I start this blog? I thought about the different ways I could use in order to get in touch with my family and friends in Spain during my exchange (e-mail, facebook, and so on), but what I was really willing to find was some way that could be more personal and that could actually be kept as, let's say, a "diary". So when my "Digital media across Asia" teacher in my "new singaporean university" (I'll talk about it sometime later on, because it deserves a whole post) proposed us to do a blog for our individual grade... I just thought it was a great idea!
