We have now left Hawaii, where most of us simply relaxed, and are headed for San Diego. Final exams started today so we can finally see that the voyage is about to end. Most of us have mixed feelings about the end of our adventure - we are eager to go home but we are also sad to leave the ship and all of our new friends who shared so many new experiences with us.

Most of us were very surprised with Singapore, because it is so advanced, clean, modern and orderly. The degree of development is striking and the architecture and rate of construction is very impressive. We were also impressed by the degree of equality in Singapore. 85% of the population lives in government housing that is quite nice, clean and close to public transportation.
