Thanks Bingfang, Joyce, Lay Kian, Zhibo, Naijun, Rentian, Guo Qing for sharing their SEP experience, and

In addition, I wish to share some websites that we found very useful in pre-departure preparation and living & travelling in Germany.

Singapore Students' Association of Germany (www.ssag.de)
This is a very useful website that I would suggest you to look at. Under the "Guide" session, you can find substantial information about the predeparture preparation, living and travelling in Germany. Besides, you might want to join the activities organized by them too. A great way to know more Singaporeans in Germany!
DAAD Information Center Singapore (www.ic.daad.de/singapore)
Singapore Embassy in Berlin (http://www.mfa.gov.sg/berlin/)
Couchsurfing Project (www.couchsurfing.com)
Mitfahren (Google it and you will get list of carpool websites)
Wohnungssuche (www.wg-gesucht.de)

Thank you for all the supports! & hope to see you guys in our upcoming events!

Cheers,
