So it was another day of class, doing work, or lying out. The difference though is that we had Neptune day, the day we cross the equator. And for all of us who hadn’t ever crossed the equator by water, we had to be baptized into shellback. There we were in all our clothes on the top deck of the boat, getting drenched in salt water. We had to walk through fish guts, kiss and bow to the king ( the king and queen were two of my male professors, dressed in a ridiculous white outfit that only covered their main areas), and jump in the pool. For those brave souls, amongst us they had to shave their head. Andy one of my American friends shaved his dreads. Which was horribly disappointing to see him bald, but still it was great fun.
