R.A.T. Your Rodent Around-the-World Traveler (a.k.a. Raz)

Hi, My name is R.A.T., which stands for Rodent Around-the-World Traveler (I like to think it stands for Rodent Adventure Traveler), but everyone here calls me Raz for short. I would love to share my adventures with you. I left my rat family in early January to seek adventure. Everyone said "head west young rat," so that is what I did. I headed west to San Diego, California where I ran out of land and had to hop on a ship to continue my journey. It turns out that the ship I found was going west around the world--a dream come true! The MV Explorer is home to the famous Semester at Sea study abroad program. My shipmates include 629 college students and about 150 faculty, staff, lifelong learners, and family members. Things are really busy here on the ship and even busier when we are in port. Come follow me vicariously as I take this incredible journey. Yours, R.A.T.

P.S. I had such a great time on the voyage that the adventure continues!!!!

Veitnam - Saigon - More Lions!

Here I am in our next stop--Saigon (a.k.a. Ho Chi Minh City). I'm standing right in front of the big cathedral.
Across the street was this wonderful neoclassical post office.

Inside the post office. There's a painting of Ho Chi Minh on the back wall.

Another area of the post office with an old map of the area.
Scary lion!

Here's another lion.

Another lion. I think this one wants to play.
This one at the entrance to the zoo seemed much friendlier.
