So I'm applying for an 8 week summer internship with my

Dublin is expensive as fuck to rent and its hard to find places too. Nice city though. I'll probably be heading to there next year for college still though

You can't go wrong with any of those -- pick the one you'd guess you'd have the hardest time getting back to later, maybe. Or the one that is less likely to fill up before they get to you?

Sounds like maybe Ireland is pretty similar to something you just did... but I did enjoy Ireland, can't recommend against it.

>>Singapore
>I've heard it provides easy access to places like Malaysia, Indonesia, and other countries in SEA fairly easily, and that the food is fantastic.

True

>On the other hand, I've heard that there's not that much to see,

I guess. It's a city-state, you can't really compare it, in terms of things to see and do, with a whole full0-sized country. But, as you say, it is a good jumping-off spot for SEA, or Australia/NZ if you are from the US and those places are normally a fuck-ton of a plane ride to reach. Or India, if that interests you.

>it's extremely hot,

And humid, don't forget humid.

>and crazy laws.

Yes, and penalties for breaking them seem draconian to westerners. But, you get a stable, clean society that way -- just learn the laws.

Pic related -- Singapore is a fine city.

>And how easy is it to get around with English?

Very.

>Hong Kong
>How easy is it to get around with English?

It is a former colony (or whatever they called it) of England; I bet somebody there speaks English.

Sounds decent enough. I'm not a smoker nor the type to go out and do crazy clubbing. I'm more in it for the cultural/culinary experience anyway. So I think I'd survive. I'll just make sure not to spit out my gum on the street. Do you take flights to Malaysia, or is there a bus/train or ferry service?

>>1190607
But my ex-gf is from Macau which was a former Portuguese colony and neither she nor anyone she knows speaks any Portuguese. But then again English is the world's lingua franca so I'm sure I'd be fine.

I'll keep it on the short list. Which uni are you applying to anon? Trinity College? I'm thinking of applying there for grad school.

Thanks for the recs all

Don't come to Singapore. We're full.

>>1190553
yes we speak english here

>>1190958
Prove it.

>>1190553
I haven't been to the others but Singapore is AMAZING, especially if you're into Chinese food and flora(plants) If you are going to be there for 6 weeks you might want to see how much school you're going to be having, but if it's about 7 hours a day I would recommend Singapore for sure

>Which uni are you applying to anon?
IDK how youre applying but Ive a good few colleges down on my application.
First choice at the moment is UCD but I've a science course in Trinity near the top of the list. Trinity will looks good on a CV abroad if you don't fancy staying in Ireland afterwards

Dublin nigga, go to Galway when you get the chance.

Depends which part of HK you'll be in. The New Territories area has fewer people who can speak English compared to HK Island/Kowloon/touristy areas. In saying that, if you go into a more traditional restaurant especially in the NT area then the menu will probably all be in Chinese. You can definitely get by with only knowing English know - the public transport system and road signs uses English. Younger HK citizens have decent enough English if you ever need help. If you want to easy-modo HK, you can just stay on HK Island's expat areas and feel as if you're not even in an Asian country.
I have never studied or driven in HK before but feel free to ask any other questions if you've got them

> (2) My ex-gf is from Macau and if I went to Hong Kong she'd want to see me, which is no bueno.

Fucking seriously? Have you ever thought about the possibility of the following exchange:

"Hey wanna meet up?"
"No."

It sounds like Hong Kong is the place you want to visit the most out of that list. Are you really gonna pass up on the oportunity because you're scared of facing a girl?
