Yama Ghani bravely addressed over 3,000 students at Hwa Chong Institute early Tuesday morning.  Yama communicated that he is very happy to be in Singapore and has been enjoying the culture, most notably, “the food.”  Yama and Ciara Thomas, Jennifer Morris, Nick Sysak, and Thaddeus Thomas have spent time hanging out with their Singaporean counterparts on the beautiful campus of Hwa Chong in order  to catch a glimpse of the Singaporean educational system. They have also visited Chinatown, where Chinese immigrants experienced harsh living conditions while building the infrastructure of the country . Soon after, students took a trip to a Hindu temple in Little India and learned the story of the Indian god, Ganesh.   Right outside of the temple, they ate at one of the famous hawker stations that Anthony Bourdain had visited during his last trip to this Asian food paradise.  The students wrapped up the tour visiting a famous Singaporean mosque and sipping delicious “pulled tea” at a cafe on Arab street.
