Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Day 54. We're Halfway there.

I can't believe it.

The voyage that I've been looking forward to for so long is halfway completed. Today, at pub night, we had a crazy dance party complete with costumes. The whole place was rockin' and we were able to sing and dance with everybody halfway around the world from where we started. It reminded me of dancing at Senor Frogs in the Bahamas 54 days ago. There, we met eyes with eachother for the first time, completely unaware that 54 days later we would be in the Indian Ocean between Singapore and Thailand.

The MICE concert with Singapore was great. We all gathered in the union and were live on the radio, and got to scream hello to one of the smallest city-island-nations in the world. I couldn't believe we were actually there.

My plans for Thailand are pretty finalized. We got a great top-17-in-the-world-hostel in Bangkok for nights 2, 3 and 4. Day 1 I am going to an Elephant Reserve, and Day 2 I am going to a Tiger Village... some of the most reputable animal reserves in the world. Then, it's off to Bangkok, where I'll be touring hospitals with the UVA medical students and residents and checking out one of the most amazing cities in the world! Bangkok! I NEVER thought I'd be there!

It's so amazing to think where I currently am, and so sad to think the voyage is half over! We are all so lucky, and happy to be here and a part of SAS... 54 days later, who knows who we'll be.
