Singaporeans

On Friday I went with some people from my office to the dedication of the first house built for this build season. A Global Village team of recent college grads came from Singapore. Unfortunately we were too late for the house dedication (thank you UB traffic), but I still got to chat it up with the GV team for a while which was really fun. Most of them had studied political science and this was all of their first times in Mongolia and working for Habitat for Humanity. It was great for me to hear about their experiences and what they thought of the country and the organization. Also it was awesome to talk with fluent/native English speakers. Most of them thought I was a little nuts for a. going back to school for a Master’s (they just graduated and are sick of school) and b. for coming to Mongolia during the winter. There may be some truth to their arguments.
