Culture Shock Training - Prawn Fishing in Singapore

To prepare ourselves for the wild and unfamiliar recreational activities of cultures unknown, we decided to take a trip out to Bishan Park and go Prawn Fishing.

We paid $30 per person for 3 hours of fishing, which included all equipment and bait.


After our time was up, we successfully barbecued and consumed the fruits of our labor. Great success!

New Travelers!

Auggie Bautista (Hamilton '08) and Chris Wong (Wharton '08) have joined our worldwide quest for action, adventure, and real Peruvian flute bands.

Auggie will be joining us in Turkey (February 17th) and Chris will start with me in Bangkok (February 8th).

Visiting the doctor tomorrow for my inoculations, and also to pick up a first-aid kit (see: anti-diarrheal medication).

Visa Update: No visa required for Brazil for British Nationals. Chinese visa is $50 less than if I were American, and the Indian visa is also $20 cheaper. God save the Queen!

Adios,
Phil
