Now this is kinda cool I think because I will now be able to go to Korea! I’m not sure about Russia though because I need to have my Seaman’s book in order to get in, and it’s still not here, so I might just have to stay on the ship on those days. Several Japanese ports have been taken out but I’m still going to two Japanese ports, so it’s all good.

Currently I’m in Singapore however. The first night I got here and they weren’t expecting me and with all the contraction going on in the ship, they didn’t really have a place for me to sleep. So I slept in the Ocean Bar. That’s one of the bars upstairs where old people usually go to have a drink and do some dancing with somebody playing on the piano. Anyways the entire ship is a wreck right now. I did get into a room yesterday though so I was able to have a nice sleep last night. I also went downtown with some friends yesterday. We went to Sentosa Island, which is a really neat place. This afternoon I’m going to go to Chinatown and Little India. Then later I’m planning on meeting Gabe and Benita and we’ll go out together. I really like Singapore and it’d be a great place to live, except for one thing: the heat. I am sitting in my cabin right now sweating buckets and I’m not even moving. I really want to go out and explore but it’s just so hot that I almost don’t want to go. I will of course however.

Well, I think that means it’s about time I went out. Ciao, and enjoy your cold weather wherever you are!
