well I am almost done 25% of the time I have working on the Logos Hope, a little wild to think about.

this is just a small attempt at explaining one of the different aspects of just the general life on the ship.

the Logos Hope is kinda like its own little country/city within a building that floats. we have all the infrastructure of a city, power generators, water purification plant and “sewer” system, a school and firefighters.

we are like a country because the community that lives on board has its own culture that comes from mixing almost 50 together. We have our own unique local food, a store with its own selection of products. there is even a special version of English that naturally is spoken. people who are learning English get much better but the people who came only knowing English start to develop a strange grammar that comes from talking to so many people who are learning English. Someone once thought that I was German because they thought I sounded like I was learning English, I said sorry I was speaking “ESL” trying to make sure I could be understood.

the same “building” is our home, our work place, our church, hospital, bank, outreach center, library and store. you live in the same community as your boss and coworkers, so there is not much space to escape. most people go home to escape their job, we have to leave the ship or else someone could always ask you to do something and you have to tell them that you can do it tomorrow.

you may have the same bed to sleep in and all that but when you get up and go for breakfast the view out the window might have totally changed. this was actually really odd to adapt to at first, you spend two or so weeks in one place and you one day go outside and there is a entirely different city outside. it’s just odd. with this though comes the fact that you just finally get use to one city, how to get around it and you kinda feel at home and then the ship leaves and goes somewhere else. you then have to get use to a whole new city again.

I have put some Photos on Picasa, you can follow the link and find the slideshow buttpon.

I also made a short video that is just a few clips put together from places I have been and things I have done. it has a Indian song in the background, a little different but funny. there is not a real theme, just stuff I decided to video.
