Southeast Asia consists of two geographic regions: the Asian mainland and island arcs and archipelagoes to the east and southeast. The mainland section consists of Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia while the maritime section consists of Brunei, East Malaysia, East Timor, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore.[1] Papua New Guinea is an observer in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, as is East Timor.

NUS Orientations, July 23

Today was the international student orientation on campus. From this I learned a few things:

a) National University of Singapore Campus is HUGE!

b) The term 'International' Student at NUS refers mostly to students outside of Singapore but still from Asia. Out of the 500 plus student in the auditorium I was one of the few blonds in the crowd for sure;) Therefore after meeting a new student I would often say, 'It'll be easier for you to pick me out of the crowd so be sure to say hello next time you see me.' LOL

c) Everything starts ON TIME here and is extremely efficient!
