Photo2 (left): A Japanese game, "Watermelon
Crusher." The goal is to crash a watermelon with a bamboo stick.
The participant is blind folded and forced to turn 10 times to lose
the sense of direction. We had many challengers, but none of them
succeeded. One was successful in hitting a person instead of the
watermelon. |
Commentary:
We are now on the way to Majuro. All the scheduled observations were
completed, and most of the instruments are now packed up. To remember
this observation cruise, we had a BBQ party. Very fun time.
