We humans are a silly bunch; they had a ten dollar sale at the shoppes and I watched as a mass of people descended on the tables like a horde of locust on a field of wheat. You would have thought that they were selling the last merchandise available on the planet. I had just wasted $2 on the slot machines as I walked through the casino on my way to the trivia games, so I was in no mood to join the shopping madness. Trivia has been a big hit on this cruise; lots of fun without feeling stupid. Last nights entertainment was a female singer/comedienne who did equally great impressions of both Cher and Pavorotti. She was amazing. (I think she was a she.) Tomorrow is the cultural tour in Bali which should be very interesting. Many Australians have decided to stay on the ship due to warnings from the prime minister that they may be targeted by terrorists. What a world we live in.
