Around the World in 100 Days

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Oh, Ship Life.

Everyday while at sea, we get the Noon Report and the 5 o’clock announcements. Usually there is a “special question” which are the stupidest things in the world that are actually asked by people. Are they made up? Maybe some of them, but most of them are true. Whoever I am with at that time, whenever there is a Special Question, we just look at each other like, “Are you SERIOUS?!”  It makes you wonder about a selection of the people here ;) Here are some of the questions…

 

Since we are in the Southern Hemisphere, does the sun set in the east?

If we keep losing an hour, will we miss the sunset?

Is the reason lobster is so expensive because it is extinct?

Is Table Mountain the flat one?

Do elephants hear so well because of their long trunks?

Do they speak Asian in China?

What time do the 10 o’clock snacks start?

When we are in China and we want Chinese food, do we just ask for food?

 

Well, it makes me laugh!! Enjoy.
