My new experience happened while on the plane though, and I met a Merchant Marine from America on the flight. His name was Felipe and he was nice. Very talkative, but nice. I usually don't talk much to people on planes, but it was interesting to see what he did, because I had no idea what a Merchant Marine was. Turns out he works on boats for three months at a time delivering stuff to different ports around the world. Cool. I don't think there is a tie directly to the military, but most of the stuff he does now is to Iraq and the Middle East. He couldn't even tell me what kind of stuff they delivered. But it was nice to get to know him and he was very friendly. He lives in Thailand and married a Thai woman and they are having a baby. I am happy for them.
So clearly I am making a bigger effort to get to know people because you never know when you can run across them again or they can help you out. And at worst you have a nice conversation with people! Til tomorrow friends. I am doing great and hope you are too!
