Boats and the ocean
If you know me personally, you're probably aware that I studied my degree in a field to do with ships and the ocean. (This course wasn't offered in NUS or NTU back then, so yes, I'm an oddity) I also hope to learn scuba diving some time. So, no surprise then that I went to Asia Dive Expo 2008 and Boat Asia 2008. For the dive expo, it wasn't a grand affair, but I picked up some brochures. Boat Asia, in comparison, was grand. Well, when you showcase leisure boats, luxury is key. I took lots of photos, and got onto some boats. Wow, the interiors really impressed me. On the other hand, some of the smaller boats (without rooms and so on) were actually cheaper than cars in Singapore, I believe...
Maybe I'll post some photos on the blog soon. In the meantime you can go to my Boat Asia 2008 Flickr set.
