A good amount of our study abroad was spent discussing the Little Prince. Now that I have thought about it, I have to buy a special hardcover copy.

For the record, I loved Singapore. Wish i could have spent more time over there. As for the big ship looking thing up top there? Our cab driver said it wasn’t anything worthwhile except a bunch of plants and photo ops. I suppose I’ll never know.The Marina Bay Sands in Singapore

"Whoever keeps you and me
from being we,
let his house cave in.
If i don’t become we, I’m alone.
If you don’t become we,
you are just you.
Why not make The East
arise again?
Why not force open
the hands of the vile?
If I rise,
if you arise,
everyone will be roused.
If I sit,
if you take a seat,
who will take a stand?
Who will fight the foe,
grapple with the foul enemy hand to hand?"
From “Blue, Grey, Black” by Hamid Mosadiq. Translated from Farsi.
The book I am current reading has this poem as a dedication, preceded by, “this book is dedicated to the people of Iran.” The book is entitled, “Tablet and Pen: literary landscapes from the modern Middle East.”

I really did love Singapore. It was a great country with such amazing Asian diversity. For those looking for somewhere to study abroad (but don’t necessarily want to have intensive language study), National University of Singapore was gorgeous.

Detailed Look At Constitution Objections
Right now, Turks and Caicos is undergoing potential constitution changes, as dictated by the UK. I’ve met people who are very passionately against the idea of a new constitution. There have been town hall meetings and the like on every island as well as radio call-ins to truly gather the opinions of the people. Here is one link that I hope will give some insight. This is only one side, however.
