Open Seas

We are just cruising away to Brazil which they have told us will be very fun but quite dangerous. So we are working on finding some boys to go with because we are scared out of our wits! 
The ship is so bumpy- i thought it was bad at first when i got sick, apparently those waves were ones out of tens and we are heading for much worse. :( The ship is just unreal to go outside and all you see is ocean-kind of scary. The ceilings rattle constantly and today people have been falling all over the place. I just know that I will be the first to eat it on top of some guy in front of everyone. 
My classes are okay. There is a ton of reading and my geology and sociology teachers are the weirdest teachers I might ever have. All the classes tie into the countries we are visiting some how which makes it a little more interesting. 
I found out which trips I will be taking for the rest of the semester (at least the big ones). I am going to Beijing and will be seeing the great wall along with many other places. I am currently working on booking a 4-day safari in south africa. I will be flying to singapore when we get to malaysia! And lots of little stuff in between. 
My phone receives calls but I cant use the internet-makes no sense because everyone else who has a blackberry can use the internet. I have to wait to get into ports but oh well. 
This experience is just shocking to me everyday. I have made some great friends who make me laugh so much I look like a crazy person. But I would rather look crazy than sane! Love you all! Sorry I cant upload many photos it takes forever and we dont have much internet time.

Singapore!!! That is so awesome. It is the cleanest city you will EVER go to-honestly insane...a few tips while you are there: trading, and selling-mostly importing chewing gum is illegal. Littering, spitting, urinating in public, feeding birds, flower picking is illegal-so beware and don't get fined!!! But, honestly I love it there. I was there for about a week before i went to Bali, teeny was born there, and we got our belly buttons pierced there...so think of us! I miss you! There are stands there (like taco stands) that sell Roti and this red sause. INSANLY good. I hope you can find it-it is kind of like nann. Go to little china when you are there, maybe go inside a church too-really cool-the botanitcal gardens are pretty sweet too!

I will call Sprint and see what is up with the internet on the blackberry. Let you know as soon as I can figure it out. Don't have any idea why your Mac won't work if everybody else's does. Try checking to see what networks are listed as being available [this is a left click on the icon for for wireless reception on my computer], then, choose one and try again.
Love You,
Dad
