Today was one of the laziest yet. After breakfast we headed to the atrium for coffee as we usually do and ended up spending the whole morning there reading or chatting with other passengers. An Australian couple told us about a man (also Australian) they ate with who went on about how bad it is that so many people don't wash their hands enough on the ship and spread their germs everywhere, and then he proceeded to put his finger on the open top of the Worcestershire bottle and shake it! She said she was too flabbergasted to even say anything. After lunch, more of the same laziness. Michael didn't even make it to the gym.
Our TVs were out yesterday again, but are working today. We seem to put on the Australian or NZ news channels more often than not and it's interesting to see that they have the same problems we do - lying politicians, police officers being bad, real estate prices getting too high, etc.
I've been checking the water as it drains and so far it is still counter clockwise. The captain did say that the phenomenon is real, but you have to get far enough from the equator to see the change. I'll keep checking. And sort of related to that, we've noticed that in Australia, NZ and even on the ship, people tend to walk on the left, so we are making a real effort to follow suit.
Peter has not been himself for a few days now and tonight he left dinner early. Hopefully it's just a cold or something, but we are a little worried about him.
Tonight's show was the wonderful Welsh violinist, Chris Watkins, again with the ship's pianist as accompanist (?).
Tomorrow is Phu My, Vietnam the port for Ho Chi Minh city.
