It-a-ca?
In a shop in Chinatown:
Owner: You're from America?
Me: Yep!
Owner: New York?
Me: Yah, actually!
Ownder: Oh! My son is studying in... It-a-ca this semester. Exchange.
Laurel and I stand there with our jaws open.
Please consider the odds. With Laurel here, there are 4 Ithacans in Singapore. NTU sends 2-3 students on exchange each semester. There are 4.5 million people living in Singapore. That is pretty impressive.
