Hi Guys-
We've been busy these past two days on the ship. Singapore was fun-I felt like I was back in the U.S.
Catherine, Matt, Gavin and I just walked around for the day and explored different places. The water there is a beautiful teal color, and we walked along a beach resort. We had lunch in China town, and ate all kinds of wierd foods like octopus and duck gizzards. The mall right by the ship felt like home. We got french fries from McDonalds....I've missed them soo much. I also had my first starbucks coffee in 2.5 months. We did a little bit of shopping and then got back on the ship. It was a really short day, and I wish we had a little more time to go around Singapore.

So the verdict is in, and the MV Explorer will be making it's final international stop Taiwan. Radiation was detected in South Korea, and the Phillipines was knocked out for safety issues. We're trying to stay positive and get very excited about Taiwan, but everyone's still super bummed about Japan. If anyone has time and wants to google things to do in Taiwan, or info about it, we'll be there for 4 days and have NO idea what to do-
We arrive in Vietnam tomorrow and I am SO excited to be there. It sounds so amazing. My roommate and her best friend from home have their moms waiting for them in HCM city, and we're super excited to hang out with them tomorrow. We're going to shop and get outfits made, and go out to dinner with them. We're all happy to have moms around, it's been a long time!
I'm planning on spending the rest of the week with a couple of my friends on the ship-going to a temple and beaches and other fun stuff.
I'm starting to get excited about this last leg of the voyage. We have only a couple of classes, and a lot of time in ports! I think I have like 3 days of classes in the next two weeks.
I miss all of you guys so much-a little over a month before I see you all!
