Hey all,
Here I am in the afternoon in a big singapore shopping mall. After four days at sea and before a last noghts out in Hong Kong with Joost (my colleague).
Since my last report, I picked up Joost on friday at the airport and showed him a quick round of Hong Kong which he will be visiting when coming back from Malaysia again.
Then after a good nights out and a couple of imported Heinekens and some Tsingdao beer we headed back for the Eleonora Maersk, which is the (one of the 8 Maersk owned) largest container vessel in the world.
After some sleep we met the crew and went for sea from Hong Kong to Yantian. During this voyage we didn't see much a the crew was fully occupied with preparing for the next port Yantian, China. We arrived there only 8 hours after departure in hong Kong and stayed there for 18.5 hours, which meant we had time for a short shore visit. And so we did...
China was way different from Hong Kong and there you can not find your way and it seems differently organizaed. however this was just a short impression.
Then afterwards we sailed from Yantian to Tanjung Pelepas, Malaysia. During this voyage, we got to see all ships operations, as; engine room, bridge, deck operations, reefer control etc... A lot of learnings to take away.
Then this morning we arrived in Malaysia and transferred to Singapore. After the first impression, have to say this is really where east meets west.
I'll post photo's afterwards...

En jongen, hoe is het? Wij moeten hard werken in Nederland en het is me hier even koud. Wat me een beetje tegenvalt zijn de foto's; heb je er echt niet een van de nachtclubs?
En wat dat kale kopje betreft; kan me niet voorstellen dat daar de vrouwen over vallen.
Groetjes,
