Life in Torino, Italia
Why did you choose to go to Turin, Italy? I wanted to go to Italy to study as finding a job seemed too stressful and not a concrete option. Glasgow University offered Torino or Genova as options. I was happy with either so I was randomly allocated Turin. How long is...

Dubai - the pitstop before Glasgow
I was warned that the flight from China to Dubai was going to be awful. My sister had prepared me for the impatient customers and chaos due to language barriers. What I wasn’t prepared for was the constant smell of fart and B. O. in the cabin. Nor was I prepared for...

Girls Weekend in Singapore
Singapore was a much needed girls’ holiday to break up January. However, on reflection, Singapore can only really be enjoyed to the full if you have money to spend – which we did not. Going to Singapore from the UK would have been a treat, but coming from Vietnam,...

"Guide" to moving about in Saigon
To be honest, the best advice to get around Saigon would be to to go slow. This applies to driving and for crossing the street. Don't hesitate. If you’ve made your move, complete it. When crossing the road, don’t stop in the middle of a busy street. Other drivers...
