When 1 returned this summer to study abroad once more with the Carolina SEAS Program for fresh men. it was obvious that the place hadn't changed too much, even though I am no longer a first-vear student. Apparently, Singapore's good hab its don't disintegrate its fast as those ot a lone college student: The buses still run on time, the streets are still vacuumed every evening and the humming of millions of air-condi tioning units still fills the night air. I was excited to watch anew batch of 25 Tar Heels adjust to the sometimes surreal surroundings of Singapore. Oddly enough, it doesn't take much adjusting. Some people had trouble with the food, until they discovered the joys of roti prata. which is Place a Classified: njfww.daitytarheel.com/classiflecls or Call 919-962-0252 Child Care Wanted ROOM BOARD FOR PART TIME CHILD CARE Christian farmfy S minutes from UNC offering private cottage room board *n exchange for part time child care starting August Must d've amyOnewhopenc org 280 5443 AFTERSCHOOL CARE NEEDED begin nmg August 2 5 2008 for the sweetest funniest, most wonderful 9 year -old tnp let boys you ever met Responsibilities pick up at school and drive to activities make snacks, help with homework build catapults catch bugs read lEGGO instructions etc No housework or er rands Hours 2 30|6pm M F of EVERY OTHER vm More hours are available if desired Email resume and refer ences to threesmalionetalUßyahoe com 919 260G0t 7 AFTERNOON BABYSITTER NEEDED from mid August for 2 girls, ages 11 and 9. 3 6 30pm weekdays Pick up from school take them to some afternoon activities and give them, supper Availability to work extra and/or weekend hours from time to time ideal, but not essentia' High hourly pay' Option to Start in >ufy if preferred Previous childcare exp* ence own car and references essential Contact Emma by email on ebrAdduke edu or call 919 969 9059 ACTIVE.

Some people had trouble with the climate—nearly 100 percent humidity and 85 degrees daily—but soon rediscovered the joys of air conditioning. Quickly. Singapore became a home away from home—very, very far away from home. This fiast weekend, everyone left “home" to make a quick jaunt to Melaka, a seaside town in Malaysia that is about a four hour drive from Singapore. I remembered visit ing Malaysia last year and having the sudden realization that street signs were no longer in English. The transition was no less shock ing this year. Houses in varying states of decrepitude pecked out between oil palms rather than the Singaporean high-rise flats which tower above the manicured trees on the lawns.

Three days and one terrible case of food poisoning later, we were back on the bus to Singapore. Everyone was anxious to get back into the safe and sanitized con fines of the city, and even though I’d been to Melaka the year before, 1 still breathed the same sigh of relief when I set niv bags down on my Singaporean mattress. “Home sweet home!" I heard someone shout from down the hall. I've already heard several stu dents this year refer to Singapore and Singaporeans as "us" and "we." as if we can claim it as our own. Perhaps its just the wish that their own lives could have a hint of that same Singaporean comfort, clean liness and startlingly cold efficien cy. Contact Caroline Fisher atfishercl(<i rmail.nne.edu.
