On a Japanese boat called the Umitaka Maru, I had my first taste of Antarctica, extreme seasickness and Sippahh straws (all still a part of my life). Good times. As part of the deal, I also got to explore a bit of Japan, where I took photos of pampered pooches, cute school kids, and regular people going about their business who probably just wanted to be left alone.
