T minus 45 minutes to Board MS Clipper Adventure

February 20, 2008

I was beginning to wonder if I will ever bump into any other Filipino on my third day here in Fin Del Mundo - Ushuaia, Argentina.

Again, the Filipino diaspora was not to disappoint.

On my way to kill about 2.5 hours before we board the MS Clipper Adventure, I wandered along the main street in Ushuaia, Avenida San Martin. As I walking I heard several people talking in Filipino, mostly men, likely working for the cruise ships plying the South Atlantic, South Pacific cruising route. As I headed for this big internet cafe, more familiar words, faces and voices. There were 35 terminals in all and I swear at one point there were more than 12 of us Filipinos tapping away at our keyboards.

Time to go. Will edit this blog later.

Will try to send a blog entry from the ship. If ít´s not to expensive to log into the internet.

Otherwise, my next entry will not be until March 1, 2008.
