“I’m a business student from France and I’m currently on a semester abroad in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. I chose Ho Chi Minh as a it’s a good mix between big European cities and the Asian way of life, and it's easy to explore neighbouring countries too.”

“I’ve been a Design & Technology (D&T) instructor for 25 years and I’ve seen the education system change a lot over the years. Like it or not, we have to learn and adapt with the times or we won’t be able to survive. As such, I now also teach 3D printing, laser cutting, and computer programming as part of the D&T curriculum.”
“I’m a student at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and I work with sculptures and ceramics as I’m intrigued by textures and the hands-on nature of the medium, plus you’ll never really know how each piece will turn out! For my works, I like to make use of recycled and unconventional materials that I find on streets and in bins—anything really, even an old bandage with fleshy bits stuck on it.”
“My family came to Singapore from Tokyo five years ago for my husband’s job, but we’ll be moving again to another country in a few months. I’m sad to leave as I love the warm weather, blue skies, and people here. To me, Singapore is paradise!”
“I’m a full-time father of three, so I’ve lost all my hobbies. But, being a father is great! It's the best thing that’s ever happened to me. As long as I see my kids happy, I’m happy.”
