This is one of our port of call "JUNEAU" upon our arrival here in Juneau at 1pm.


dockside at the gangway*

we arrive here late compare to other ports this port is one of the busiest place due to other cruise ships docked and anchored with us here, there are 4 cruise ships and one was anchored and cannot manage to dock alongside.


After my duty in the morning I had a quick break again for a about 2 hours only I rushed going out with my co workers, along the way to our destination I saw the place where most of the crew are staying this is an Asian street food where Filipinos are who prepare / cook and sell food for all the crew onboard to different ships docked. They became so famous to all the seafarers.


*known as "Bernadette"
This street food serving rice meals or "lutong bahay" what we call in Tagalog a local language of Philippine people means home made dishes.


as you can see this how close their place to our ship, it is a matter of a 3 minutes only. so for those crew have a contact number to this street food seller they can order and deliver the food only in front of the gangway.

So after we check this area we went to a grocery store where we will buy our necessities onboard, and I saw thing catch my attention and bought it, a Yamaha cap MOnster edition.

so we are almost going back to the ship for work we need to maximize our time and we cannot waste time. So I purchase something from the Ace Hardware I bought some office supplies and etc.


When we have our lunch here after that we rushed going back to the ship, the time though not enough but there is still a next time. because we will keep doing this itinerary of Alaska for two months.


going back to the ship

Today we were here in Ketchikan, Alaska one of the ports of call of our cruise ship. This port of call is one of the famous and Iconic places in Alaska especially known for its best supplies of King crab and Salmon.
We arrived here in Ketchikan approximately 7am wherein I managed to go ashore at 2Pm after my duty and we had a general drill mandated by IMO (International Maritime Organization).
This place is always raining, and it is very seldom you will experience clear sky. so I walked around and check if there were any changes since the last time I was here. The first stop I went to is the store of Harley Davidson, where I checked what they have and if they have something that I am looking for a "Leather Jacket", but unfortunately they dont have it. They have only baseball caps and T-Shirts only.
after I went to the store in Harley Davidson, while raining I decided to dine in one of the asian restaurant, which is very popular to all seafarers who misses their traditional food.
so I decided as well to dine in and update my software in my laptop
so I spent approximately an hour here and ordered a Pad Thai a favorite of mine.
I will be definitely be back to this place. so the overview of this place was so amazing, along the way back to the ship I found this statue besides our ship
but ofcourse unfortunately we need to go back to the ship as soon as possible to avoid getting late at work and i dont want to be on trouble.j
and this is the upper view of Ketchikan from the ship upper deck

What will BTC do this upcoming week ahead ? Getting a small push up again to the 28K range. Will it continue or is this a false move before the Asian markets open for the week ? Should be an interesting few days ahead to see if we push through recent highs or retrace. 1hr BTC USD chart on tradingview.

…and me who doesn’t even like to go to the gym. I have seen the dating scene on Tinder though. Statistics showed that 90% of the women swiped right on the same 20-25% of the men. Which means most men gets nothing. Most women gets something. Women in the US gets 8-10 more matches than men for example. Least swiped on from the men are black women. From the women there were east asians. This got 45000 views in 1h. People have waited… https://youtu.be/0nTEfx44pws

“Everything Everywhere All at Once,” a sci-fi story about Chinese American immigrant parents, dominated the Oscars with seven awards, marking a milestone for Asians and Asian Americans, who have historically been underrepresented in American film and television industries.

“For all the little boys and girls who look like me, watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities,” Michelle Yeoh said during her Oscar acceptance speech on Sunday. She is the first Asian artist to win the best actress in the history of the 95-year-old Academy Awards.

Just 23 of 1,808 acting nominees in the entire history of the Oscars could be identified as Asian. According to a 2021 study from the University of Southern California Annenberg, only 5.9 percent of speaking roles in films between 2007 and 2019 involved Asian characters.

The 2023 Oscar has a record number of Asians winning major categories. Daniel Kwan, a Chinese American, and Daniel Scheinert shared the prize for best director and best original screenplay. Ke Huy Quan, the Vietnamese-born actor, won the best supporting actor.

“The Elephant Whisperers” made history as the first Indian documentary short to win an Oscar. Composer M.M. Keeravani and artist-lyricist Chandrabose, who are both from India, won the award for best original song.
