Last month, I had the amazing opportunity to go on a student exchange trip to Singapore with a group of my classmates. We were all so excited to visit this modern city. The trip lasted for one week, and during this time, we stayed with local families. This gave us a chance to experience the daily life and culture of Singapore up close.
During our stay, we attended classes at a local school. The lessons were really interesting and
different from what we were used to back home. We also took part in various activities, such as learning about Singapore's history and visiting famous landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay.
One of the highlights of the trip was trying Singaporean food. We enjoyed dishes like chicken rice satay, and laksa. We even visited a night market, where we tried different snacks and bought souvenirs bring back home.
By the end of the week, we had made many new friends and learned so much about Singapore. We were sad to leave but promised to keep in touch with our new friends. This exchange trip was a memorable experience that I will never forget.
