Day 7: Boat II, this time it's boatier

This is kind of a placeholder post. Blogger is banned in China, and the software I'm using to get around that makes things way slower on top of an already slow connection. So no pictures. I'll fill it out if I get a better connection in Shanghai.

In short, I got a boat from Korea to China.

In long, I got pictures working.








Leaving Korea on the boat, people started throwing bits of food to the seagulls, who caught on pretty quickly and spent about 20 minutes dive bombing the boat. The best part was when the food would go slightly behind them and they'd try to stop dead in mid-air, and look completely ridiculous.




As soon as we got on the boat, every single person started gambling.


Nobody observed smoking etiquette. Sadly.

In other news, I booked a flight (rather, three flights) from Kathmandu to Toronto for Christmas and new year, and then I'm going to spend something like ten days in New York. Where, exactly, I don't know yet. I then fly from JFK to Moscow to finish out the trip. So no Mongolia, no Trans-Siberian. No regrets.
