Our current location at 2220 ship time:
Latitude: 10 degrees 29.4' N
Longitude: 101 degrees 39.4' E

In a few hours we will arrive in Laem Chabang, Thailand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laem_Chabang. Laem Chabang is our port of entry; Bangkok is an hour and a half to two hours away.
While bunkering in Singapore, our music professor, Matthew, had arranged an international "drive-by" concert with the National University of Singapore. No one was allowed off the ship, but everyone could participate using computers. While I downloaded the software, I did not download one file that would have allowed me to participate too, however I did observe, and it was fun to watch. This was picked up by a local Singapore radio station. Matthew has done some interesting things with technology in music. Yesterday's activities are written in today's "official" SAS blog at http://semesteratsea-spring2009.blogspot.com/ and you can see Matthew's website at http://www.burtner.net.
If you would like to see some great photos of this voyage by our staff photographer, John Weakley, check out [Sorry - Photos no longer available]. It's hard to believe, but yesterday was the mid-point of the journey since picking up the students in Nassau. We have only 25 sea days and 27 port days left.
