After that weekend, things had really blown up in Asia causing people all over the continent to stir and panic.

The original plan was to finish my exchange semester in Singapore and explore Southeast Asia with one of my friends from home, but of course that’s not how this story played out. Instead my exchange ended up being three short, but very sweet months.
