s-pore and guamtrex

Dear Blogianites and blogiennes,
A late night indeed. Current time: midnite 30. Current time in U.S.: eight 30 a.m., 1 day prior. Yes, I am living your tomorrow. I'll let you know if anything happens. Until something big goes down, lemme rap the basics at ya.
Today, the sun rose. It went down some time later. Set o'er the horizon, which is clearly visible from the ships point of view, still somewhere in the middle of the ocean.
We've come from Guam, a chossy little eruption on the Pacific Rim. Sure, there are some intersting things to say about the island, like it was the site of some battle during WWII. And the fact that, although the island's highest geographic peak is only 1,300, that same peak, if measured from it's base (the bottom of the Marianas Trench) would be the highest mountain in the world (38,000ft?). BUt the non-interesting items are perhaps the most appealing. For example, did you know in Guam there lies such luxury goods stores as Louis Vutton, Tiffany & Co., Rolex and more? Yeah, they're right there next to the massage parlor (er ... whore house).
But life goes on.
The ship steams ahead to our next port, another Southeast Asian clime called Singapore. Since I've been to Singapore before, I have mixed feelings. I take solace in the fact the S-pore is WAY nicer than Guam, and there are more activities brewing in the local flavor. Did you know it's illegal to chew gum in Singapore? It's true. With any luck, I'll get some sporting done. I've spent most of my last days here googling skate scenes in Singapore, but it's difficult because you have to constantly fight the stange Asian domains (.sg).
Not much else to say. Keep checking back!
