First off, my apologies for not posting yesterday, I was in bed before I even realised that I hadn't done so. Yesterday marked the end of my fourth week of teaching experience, and the end of the first block teaching, as I must now return to Uni to imbibe some more theory, and I have a written assignment to complete as well. Anyhow, in the evening my Auntie from afar paid a visit, so that was the main reason for no post.
So, I read in the newspaper this morning that passengers on a cruise ship sailing from Bangkok to Beijing, are threatening a mutiny if they don't receive a full refund for the cruise. Seemingly there was a typhoon, and they all got sea-sick and were being thrown out of their bunks (not beds at sea). The passengers claimed that the ship should never have set sail, because the Captain knew there would be bad weather.
I have no sympathy for them. What kind of fool pays way over the odds to live in a confined space with thousands of people, trapped in a floating 24hr cabaret? With the downside being that if things go wrong, you will either wind up swimming in puke, or almost as bad; drown, get eaten by sharks or spend 2 weeks in a life-raft with rejects from Butlins who will drink all the water to protect their vocal chords. No thanks, you can keep that lot, I'd rather holiday in Shetland!
