Crossing the Atlantic - Part deux

I left out a major detail regarding our voyage across the Atlantic. A special guest has come on board to speak and discuss with us about state South Africa. This guest is Archbishop Desmund Tutu!! For those of you who don't know, he played a major role in ending Apartheid and was awarded the nobel peace prize. It is really amazing honor to be in the presence of such a influential person. What do you say such a respected man as you pass them in the hall and not just be another student?

On another note, I discovered that 40 people had applied for the four positions of executive co-producer for the onboard TV station, SeaTV(kinda of looks like ResTV... how ironic). Out of those 40, eight were selected for an interview...

Say hello to the new executive co-producer of SeaTV! I guess I'll never escape it.

We've been losing about an hour every day on account of the time change... it's harder than i though!

Desmond Tutu? On board with you guys??? I am totally jealous, and as a South African doubly so (I live in the same city as him & I don't get to meet him! :-P)

Make the most of it buddy; sounds like you're having a great time & doing just that :-) And enjoy Cape Town when you get there!!!
