I work on a container ship...

Hello all! A while back, I posted the news that I got a job on the APL Korea, a container ship going between the US and Asia. https://imgur.com/gallery/8hhLv Well, I've been aboard for about a month now (Out of the four months I'm signed on for) And thought I'd post an update. I took this pic on my first day, when the shuttle dropped me and my bags off at the ship in LA.

My room. That TV's hooked up to a server with a whole bunch of movies and TV shows. This ship actually has internet too, which is unusual for me. It's crazy slow though, almost to the point of being unusable. I'm currently in Qingdao China, and this is the first time in a while that I've been able to get on Imgur.

Leaving LA. I can almost see my apartment from there.

Our first stop was Oakland for a day or so. I was on bow lookout as we were leaving.

On the way to Dutch Harbor Alaska! It was getting colder by the hour.

Made it ashore in Dutch. It's muddy and desolate, but also super pretty. I proceeded to get wasted!

The next day we left. It snowed.

Heading to Asia! Out first stop, Yokohama Japan.

The schedule gods blessed me this trip, and I got to go ashore in Yokohama too!

Sign on a trash can. So adorable!

I forgot to take a before picture. Me and my buddy went into a little local restaurant/bar. Nobody spoke English, but we were able to communicate enough to ask for a bunch of their best food. It was a great time!

Wandered around some more, and wound up at the SkyLounge at the top of the Yokohama Landmark Tower. Pretty sure this place was just, stupid expensive, but by that time we were sorta beyond caring. The view was amazing.

This was about a week ago, we've since been to Busan S. Korea, Okinawa, and here, Qingdao. I haven't really had a chance to get off the ship since then though, and right now we're socked in with fog, waiting to sail to Shanghai. Then, it's back to Busan, then back home to LA before doing it all over again.

Red Panda tax! From the Yokohama Zoo.

Edit: Wow! You guys rule! I had to go to sleep right after posting this, then wake up and sail. We're currently heading down the river, leaving Qingdao. I've got an hour or so to kill before watch, so I'll try to respond to some of you. For everyone asking how to get into the industry, I talked about that on my last post, which I linked to up there. Also, a lot of people are asking about the money, and it really varies. Starting out, I was lucky to make $3-4,000 a month. Now, depending on how generous they are with the overtime, I'll take home maybe $8-10,000 a month? I usually only work 4-5 months a year though, so it's not like I'm rolling in cash. I keep my bills down, have some fun adventures in my off time, and save a little, it's a good living.
Anyway, feel free to DM me, I'll try to keep the updates coming every few weeks or so, and, um, send nudes?
