This Is When Things Get Crazy

And by that I mean that we have hit Asia and will hardly ever be on the ship for the next month. We have four days at sea before Singapore (only two of those being class days), two days at sea before Vietnam, two days at sea before China, and two days at sea before Japan. Not that it wasn't already, but my life is about to become even more of a whirlwind of adventures.

Today is Sea Olympics day. We were originally supposed to have Sea Olympics before India but our schedule got a little jumbled up with all the Mauritius craziness. So basically we are all split up into nine different seas, based on what deck and hall we live on, and today we spend the day competing in various events. Winner gets to get off the ship first when we debark in San Diego. Honestly that doesn't seem like the best prize, I am in no hurry to get off this ship whatsoever, but as it happens, my sea, the Baltic Sea, is currently in first place. Later today I'm signed up to compete in hula hoop.

India spoiled me completely with all of its amazing, flavorful, spicy food. I could happily live on Indian food. And after joyously gorging myself on such mouth-watering dishes for the past week, the bland, monotonous, sad excuse for food on the ship is nearly impossible to stomach. The only palatable thing I could find for lunch was buttered toast.
