1. Students to explore RS buddy's neighbourhood.

2. Both RS buddy and MSMSV buddy will each post one picture and share their why is this place special to them.

3. In your sharing, consider the differences between their own cultural background and Singaporean culture, as well as the insights gained from their experiences during the neighborhood exploration.

For the reflection we went to Admiratly park and had a walk through the roads of Singapore, we had a lot of fun in the slides and swings there.

This photo is really special to me as I enjoyed a lot with my RS buddies on the slides and even WHILE WALKING!!

I find this picture very meaningful because even by doing a simple activity such as going to a park with a playground, we managed to create a strong bond as we all enjoyed going outdoors and being close to nature. We also had a lot of fun.

There are very similarities between India and Singapore

1. The plants between the roads are very tall and beautiful and in India they are small and beautiful

2. Another thing I liked Singapore is the park that we visited now which was Admiralty Park

3. The thing that I liked the most was the wheelchair swing for the physically abled

4. The rides in the park were amazing and were very unique and the weather was also too pleasant

This is the top of the Fu Shan "waterfall". This place is special to me as it has a really nice view which can help us calm down with a lot of scenery below us (although it was super hot and I almost melted). All the buddies were fun and were curious to learn more. Very epic🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I spend time with my friends here at north plaza after school to eat, shop, and chat together.

I like this photo alot. It shows us that after the activity all of us were filled with joy. I feel that the culture in my sch versus the MSMVS culture may be diff as we come from diff social background. But its fun i love my buddy Shriyut

It was such a joy to see our MSMSV buddies have fun at Admiralty Park as I know playgrounds these huge are not common there. Its also a fun experience for me, as I used to come here all the time as a kid, and going there made me think of the times when I had fun!

Admiralty park was a place that would be given a special place in my heart the delicate balance between nature and modern infrastructure was really impressive.The play grounds and slides were really the cherry on top and the fun company of Thum jia jun made this excursion enjoyable

today we went to admiralty park with my buddies, and i had a good time playing at the playgrounds with mahi and gemini :) although we have different cultural backgrounds, as i was having classes alongside them, i realised how similar students from different parts of the world are!

# data[].attributes.body
There were many differences i noticed in singaporean culture and indian culture.

The rules for vehicles are more strict and more serious than in India.

The slides in gardens have a special padding under them which makes them more protective and safer to use.

My group decided to go to North plaza and Fu Shan garden. This photo was taken at Fu Shan garden. I find this picture meaningful as i get to bond with my buddy further and spend quality time with them while teaching them more about SG. 🔥🔥

Today me and my buddies from the riverside secondary school went to explore the neighbourhood which was so fun.

The parks were very clean,maintained and beautiful, we also saw multi-storey apartments.

I reallly liked the idea of a public park in the middle of apartments which keeps the people connected to nature.

I had a fantastic experience visiting the Admiralty Park and i really enjoyed the slides there even though they were very hot. The greens were beautiful to see and they were clean too which was the best thing. My buddy and I had a lot of fun.  I hope to visit again!

Today we had a fun time at fushan garden!We brought our buddies to North plaza first to showcase our Singapore hawker culture Then we brought them to fushan Garden to showcase how Singapore is a city in a garden. We went around the area and showcased our famous hdb flats. I'd we had a blast and I would definitely engage in this exchange in a heart beat

Well we in a group of 12 students, 6 Msmsv and 6 RS. We first went to Fu Shang

Garden. It was a great place with dinosaurs made up of wood and some swings.

Then we went to North Plaza, there were many food stops, cafés, clinics etc. My spectacles were little bit broken(they broke in school after i was hit by a ball in the face), I got them fixed there🙂.

I am very grateful for the efforts put by our fellow buddies Riversidians for providing us with such a fun experience and a lot of knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
this is the playground in fushan garden, a very special place in the heart of woodlands. this is where many children come to play in the playground, or people come to ball in the baskeyball court. fushan garden is a place where childhoods were built and showcasing this treasured place to my buddy was definitely a wonderful experience.

This exploration was one of the best experiences we had on this trip yet, my buddy lochlan is one of the best people I’ve ever met, very helpful and friendly to me I learnt a lot about the way things work in singapore and their culture from him, the most interesting one was about how the iPad can be locked by the school at 10 pm and many more things, I wish to meet him again in my life when I come back here

-Aradhya

my buddy aradhya was one of the kindest people i met on this programme, he’s very patient and is open to learn many new facts of singapore that he doesn’t know about. i loved the time spent with him and after the trip to admiralty park, i feel like we have grown closer to each other. i wish this programme would not end so soon🥺

I spent time with my group at Fushan Gardens. We pretended we were in Jurassic Park with all the dinosaurs🦕 and interacted more about the Singaporean way of life ( such as living in hdbs) and discussed more about the differences between our cultures.

The visiting of the neighbourhood was an amazing experience we got to know about a lot of things like the junior colleges like public politech then we reached the admiralty park where we had an amazing time as we played on swings

Today, I had an amazing experience with the Riverside Secondary School.

We went to Admiralty Park which had a fascinating view of the nature. The park was well organised with exciting swings and rides, it was really soothing with a beautiful path

The flora was really attractive which gave us a whole new perspective

We really loved the experience with the riversidians as they were kind and interactive with us.

We went to Admiralty Park tdy with our buddies and we had a lot of fun over there. We went on the swings and also went down the slides and got to spend time with all our buddies. This picture is special to me because all my classmates and their buddies are in the pic! This is an experience that I'll always remember and I hope to do something like this again!

I enjoy the photo because it captures a cherished memory of bonding with my group and the exchange students in a beautiful outdoor setting, reflecting the joy and camaraderie of that moment. We climbed up hills, went down slides and swang on swings. I really enjoyed the moments of fun and joy I had with them today. This is an everlasting memory that i can never forget and I hope we get to do this again.

Loved the journey!!

The park was extremely fun and with friends it felt even better,defo a memorable journey as we grew even close after having fun on the slides together .One thing i wanna mention is that we should try the new things we see just like i tried a new drink(kukuru) and loved it and went back to buy 3 more hihihi :).

Fu Shan Garden is a serene park located in Singapore. It's known for its lush greenery, tranquil ambiance, and picturesque views. It's a great spot for leisurely walks, picnics, or simply enjoying nature.

Admiralty Park was admittedly a very beautiful and admirable place. My buddy Javen and other friends, including teacher Mr. Eugene were very friendly and pushed me to try new things 🙂. The heat did not stop us from exploring. It was a very fun experience and something that I'll definitely remember!

This shows the similarity to India as there also we have similar public parks for anyone to come chill out!

Cleanliness was displayed everywhere and everything was just so organized and smooth.

I did accidentally bump my head into a rod 😅 but it was still a fantastic experience! I'm thankful to the school for giving us such an opportunity.

Out of all the places that i visited today, this park will forever hold a place in my heart. As we walked through the park with its swings, plants, fitness equipment etc. i got to connect with the fellow RSS students. We shared our stories along with LOTS of food. Even though we live in different corners of the world, we all shared a common attraction towards nature. I will forever cherish the memories that i made today with my buddies

This photo is very special to me as me and my buddy are literally the same we like the same things like ice creams , k- dramas we don’t like math anyways I had so much fun with her in the admiralty park , the place was amazing and so beautiful I love to be around her 💗(she is so pretty) in India we don’t have these big swings the park I used to go is very big but has so less swings I’m very glad that I shared the best experience with my buddy 💗

We went to admiralty park and this place is special to me because I often go to this place with my family and friends to enjoy the simple bouyance in life and nature as well as relax and bond. This place has a variety of slide and other equipment to allow enjoyment for people from all walks of life.

I also learnt that in india, they also have playgrounds and parks around the city area. However there are many more convenience stores along the sides of the road and they can buy whatever they want whenever they want.

When we passed by republic polytechnic, we also showed them a high level of education which is a possible pathway after secondary school. I learnt they really enjoy bonding by eating food as we bought many snacks from 7/11

I with my buddies went to North plaza. We had so much fun. We took a look at the shops. Everyone was so friendly and kind with us. Later when we moved towards the Fushan Garden I was mesmerized to see the beauty and the greenery. Everything was so relaxing. We along with our buddies had a lot of fun on the slides and the trees made the place more beautiful and peaceful.

My buddy Jessica is so sweet and it feels so nice to spend time with her.

OMG…can my day get any better !!

I’m in singapore, surrounded by stunning people and stunning scenic beauty. We went to the Admiralty Park and IT WAS AMAZING. :))) From the street lamps imitating parents hugging their child to adventurous slides - I loved it all.

Each area had its own vibe and exploring it with Ashrie made it even better !!

Comming to Riverside Secondary School was an amazing experience. During the first 2 days we explored the school ,made new friends and experienced the education in Riverside Secondary School.The education was similar yet different I loved how the teachers interactwith the students teaching them practicallyinstead of just theory .My buddy told me a lot about the locality, teachers, education system, and so onn . During the exploration we were taken to Admiralty park, we enjoyed so much .I am gratefulto the hospitalityof the riversidians. It was anforgetable experience.

It was so great hanging out with everyone on the swings.

My buddy Xuannian made the experience super fun.

This excursion is definitely worth remembering.

this photo is special to me as it is our first n last photo together as a group. we spent our 1 hour at admiralty park enjoying the scenary and playing the slides there under the hot weather. im glad that most of our buddies in our group had fun there as they got to experience something new such as playing the swings. i hope that they can visit this place once more to play the other slides. however, even though my buddy felt a little bit under the weather, she enjoyed the scenary and how she learned things about the neighbourhood while walking. we also found out that we had alot of things in common :)

I often go to parks, but this time I went to a special one in Singapore with a special person. I (Prisha Goyal) and my buddy Xing En enjoyed our time together. as the saying goes " Friendship is the best ship" , we belong to different cultures but came together.

We went to the Admiralty park together. In the way, we passed through the Republic Polytechnic college. We talked a lot and chirped like birds on a tree. We enjoyed ourselves on slides and did a lot of fun.

These memories will always stay with me.

I remember Xing En now and then, the etched memories with her and others at Riverside secondary school can't be bought for a yen.

The time we spent at Admirality Park is definitely going to be one of my fondest memories of Singapore, all thanks to this super group of people and their super energy!

Admiralty park was a beautiful park with beautiful trees and flowers.

The streets were maintained with good cleanliness and the park felt like reconnecting to nature.

We all were amazed by seeing such big slides, everyone was very polite and friendly.

It was great hanging out with RSS buddies🌻
