After 6 days of sailing, the ship finally arrived in Argentina! Woohoo!

We are currently in the industrial port of Bahia Blanca, and although the surroundings look very drab and dreary, the people were super excited to come aboard!

However, there was just one problem; the customs didn’t allow us to sell books on the day of the official opening! Thus, we had a Bookfair with no books! The visitors could only have a look at the Bookfair.

This led to some interesting new positions, like C-Stairs, where someone stands at C-Section Stairs and makes sure that the visitors pass through the right door.

The whole situation was very strange, leaving many people dumbfounded…

Even still, yesterday a visitor was very kind and gave me a special present to share with others. It is called Dulce de le Leche, and I am told by the Argentinians on the ship that it is unique.

It is moments like this that I am glad to be part of Bookfair!

Finally, I would like to apologise for the relative gap between my last blog; I didn’t have any photos of the ship entering port as my phone was out of charge. Anyway, I will leave you with a picture of my Japanese friend dancing.
