Goodbye Malaysia

Day 59

Our mission today was to find the Sunday Market. It happens on the last Sunday of every month. We had a lot of trouble finding someone who knew about it. After Starbucks we decided to give up on it for a little while and try to go on a tour of the Blue Mansion. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived there we were too late for the 1100 tour. We would have to wait until the 1500 one.

There were some artists sitting acts the street sketching the beautiful building. I wanted to go see what their drawings looked like. We admired them for a few minutes and talked to the artists. They said they knew all about the Sunday Market. It was just around the corner!

So our luck had changed and we walked on over. The market reminded me of a small-scale Mayfest. It only took up one wide, but short street. There was all different kinds of art and handicrafts for sale. After walking around for about an hour we had seen everything. We were hungry too.

We headed over to SOHO for lunch and the free internet. It was China and Japan research time. I was really hoping to be able to go to a concert somewhere over here, so I looked that up. It took a lot of searching because they don't have a ticketmaster equivalent. Baseball season is over; sumo wrestling is only in certain months (and really expensive); and I didn't know any bands that were playing or how to buy tickets.

Kelsey and Kelly played a good game of pool with some guys from the Australian Navy while I spent some quality time on Facebook. The internet is such a great tool. It def makes life better. After this trip I realize how much time I spend on the internet every day. But I'm not going to change because it's not a bad addiction.

We got so caught up in Facebook and pool at SOHO that we missed our tour of the Blue Mansion. We had to get back to the boat! Goodbye Malaysia.

Voyage Day 1–Aug 29, 2008

We have officially started our voyage today. I stood in line to board the ship in the sweltering sun for around 45 minutes, finally getting on the boat that will be my home for the next three months at 11:30 am (eastern time). They took my passport and vaccination records, handed me an insurance card, ID card and sent me off to my room. My roommate was already in our cozy cabin, 4157. Her name is Kellie, and she is a senior in some school in New Hampshire, though she is from New Jersey like everyone else on the east coast. She commenced unpacking while I waited for my own luggage to be delivered. It's so weird to compare the amount of stuff I seem to need up in Boston to what I brought on this trip. I needed to pack appropriate clothing for 11 different countries, oh and the ocean. But I was limited to two bags of up to 70 lbs (mine were under 50lbs) plus one carry-on. While I was packing, it felt as if I would never have enough stuff. As soon as I checked my bags at the airpo...

Arrive in Salvador, Brazil

Day 10 Here's the low-down on what I've done so far today in Salvador. We were awakened by chaos in the passport department; they couldn't decide how the process was going to go. First it was by sea, then randomly by name, then they went ahead and had the de-briefing meeting, then the process went back to by sea with random face-to-face stamping. I could have slept in for longer. We finally disembarked after ten am and walked to the elevator that takes you to the upper city. The street we walked along to get to the elevator smelled like urine. Horses kept clomping by, I assume as a part of the Independence Day parade. They were setting up a marketplace in a plaza at the base of the elevator, which we perused, but didn't buy anything in. There was another plaza at the top of the elevator with spectacular views of the bay. People everywhere were were trying to sell us shell necklaces, straw hats and other things. There were street bands playing drums and different in...

Day 2 Wow. I thought it was crazy to have to get used to the motion of the train. But imagine if you were on a train 24/7–but it never stayed at a steady speed. The shifting of the boat feels like a train constantly speeding up and slowing down. We zig-zag through the hallways and rock to sleep at night. Today was a rather boring and exhausting day. We've been in orientation meetings from 9 am to 9:30 pm. I haven't seen Daniel since lunch. Oh well. I sat with Kellie and Kelly. Met a few more people. I just feel so worn-out from all the meetings. The boat's rocking makes me sleepy. I think the combination of those things makes it seem as though I've been on the MV Explorer for much longer than two days. Several people feel that way. But classes start tomorrow, so we can get into some regular kind of routine. Until Brazil that is. Speaking of which, I should check to see if Ricardo has emailed me back. That would be so fun if we could meet up. I went to sleep thi...
