This week I traveled about 35 miles, mostly by MRT train! I walked about 40,000 steps just getting around campus. My biggest trip was from my university to Gardens by the Bay, which was about 8 miles away.
That might not sound very far, but Singapore is so small that you could drive across the entire country from one side to the other in only about an hour!
To get from Delaware to Singapore, I flew about 10,000 miles with a stop in Frankfurt, Germany. The whole trip took about 22 hours! Singapore is almost on the opposite side of the world from Delaware. In a straight line, it’s about 9,500 miles away, more than a third of the way around the whole Earth. That’s why when you’re eating breakfast, I’m getting ready for bed! Question for you: Find Delaware and Singapore on a globe. Can you trace the path my plane might have taken?
Most days I get around by walking, taking the bus or riding the MRT. The MRT is Singapore’s train system, kind of like a subway. To ride, I just tap my phone or card at the gate. Even though there are lots of ways to travel here, I prefer walking because it is simple and counts as my exercise for the day! Question for you: How do you get to school: bus, car, walking or bike?
