A business trip to Singapore part 3 - the Second week

My cold was getting worse and worse, so the second week was tougher. So it became much harder to communicate in English.

As well as the first week, people in the Singapore office were kind enough to treat us very well, such as taking us to dinner. I was really thankful to them, so, although my health condition was terrible, I attended them.

One evening after work, a person was kind enough to take us to the Night Safari. It was a bit scaring for me but amazing! It was good to go there.

By the way, F1 Singapore Grand Prix will be held on 25th, 26th and 27th. So Singapore is preparing for that. I wish my business trip would have been a week later.

My last day in Singapore (19th Saturday), I went to the National Museum of Singapore. It was nice and I spent about 4 hours there.

I was thinking about going for shopping after that, but I was very tired, so I didn't go.
Before I went to the airport, I met my friend again. We had dinner and I enjoyed chatting with him.

It was really tough business trip. I was in tatters.
And I strongly realize my English doesn't cut it at all. I have to do something, but I'm not sure what I should do. I just keep learning English with the same way as before?

Hi sand! お久しぶりですね! It's been quite a while. I need to bookmark your blog... ^^; It seems like you've been working hard and really pursuing English tenaciously. That's good! I think that learning a language as an adult is one of the hardest and most demanding mental exercises you can do, so I wouldn't become discouraged. The best way to learn a language seems to be constant stimulation. Constantly reading English, speaking English, thinking English, et cetera. It's not easy, though D: Don't give up! 頑張ってください!

Yes, constant stimulation is necessary.
