It's a small world after all!

Singapore is roughly 9600+ miles from where we live today. It is literally on the other side of the world! Yet, as we have been telling everyone where we are moving, we continue to meet people who either know someone who has lived there, lives there now or is getting ready to move there. How ironic is that? I think Singapore is the new business mecca and the world melting pot.

Just today we were at a cookout in our neighborhood, and as we talked about our move someone said they had friends that were moving there next month. They are a family and they have kids that are close in age to our daughter. Tomorrow I am having coffee with another woman who's neighbor is in my Moms church group. When they announced to the Moms group that I would be moving to Singapore a woman came up to me at lunch and said "my neighbor is moving to Singapore this summer." We have connected and are meeting tomorrow. How crazy is that?

How is it that you move to the other side of the world and meet more people who know some one there than if you moved to another state in your own country?

I am so very thankful that there will be at least one other person that we will know. Who knows, by the time we get there we may know 10 or more!

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears,

It's a world of hopes, it's a world of fears,
There's so much that we share, that its time we're aware,
Its a small world after all!

There is just one moon and one golden sun,
And a smile means friendship to everyone,
Though the mountains divide, And the oceans are wide,
It's a small world after all!
