Peak

By
So, I was talking with one of my top-tier friends, Jonathan Kim, today. Just catching up, you know. He and some of our other friends have just returned from a snowboarding trip in Montreal. I wanted to see if they had any fun without me. Apparently, they managed.

Then we moved on to discuss what I should get myself into this summer: job, internship, both, traveling? I DON'T know! I want to do everything, but I need to make money.

I also went ahead and asked Jon if he could help me build a page as cool-looking as his. He suggested I start a blog.

WHAT!!?!?! 

Listen, Jon, I thought we were friends. You'll notice I described him as "top-tier" earlier. But he didn't know I have been writing (well...) this blog since AUGUST! Plus, I only put links to it everywhere! 

I think this is just great evidence that if you are not active on social networking sites (esp twitter) then you practically don't exist. People, including your friends, will not find you.

On a final note, I think this band, and Tien by himself, is awesome. Dayplayer.

Day 68 I'm struggling to keep up with my feelings. This trip has really opened me up. I feel more like myself than I have in years. Actually, I feel like more than myself. My friends on the ship and my experiences in each country have inspired me to really live life more fully.  That may have seemed impossible to me three months ago, but now I've surpassed my previous connectedness to life. I sing more; I dance more; I laugh more. (Not in public places, though; I'm still just as proper and embarrassed.)  At the same time, I'm so torn between my elevated happiness and the heinous unfairness of the world. Or maybe realizing my privilege has made me not take it for granted. I expect that I will seem significantly different to everyone when I get home. I'll probably be annoyingly optimistic and remind everyone of how lucky we all are. But it's true, and we should be reminded of it frequently. Okay, so what brought this all up (well, it's been ...

Voyage Day 1–Aug 29, 2008

By
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...

Cape Town, South Africa

By
Day 29 Our first night in Cape Town was rather slow-paced. We had the most delicious meal of my life. There are no words for it. Kelsey's dad, Larry, came to spend the time with her, so Kelly and I went out to eat ourselves. Once off the boat, we weren't quite hungry yet. We wanted to do some wine tasting if there was any possibility. In a swanky-looking restaurant a short distance off the boat we asked if they did any wine tasting. Nope, they said, but we could try the bottle store up the street or one in the mall. Well, the store up the street sounded and looked the most promising, but it was closed. I didn't have much hope for the wine shop in the mall, but, to our amazement, they were doing a free wine tasting from 5-7 pm! And it was 6 pm! We shuffled our way on inside. The guy at the counter was pretty busy selling things to people, so he told us to help ourselves. We tasted seven South African wines: one called Italian Job, whose maker was a movie fanatic, a s...
