By request of pocketlama, here is a photo of me in my 1997 Halloween costume, while a student on Semester at Sea. The theme of Halloween that year was "Things we had seen on our voyage." I had just spent the past few weeks visiting multiple Buddhist temples all over Asia, so this outfit seemed natural. (And for the record, that's a Buddhist swastika, not a Nazi one.)

pocketlama has written an interesting account of the part of the Canadian Walkabout he joined me for in 2003.

He exaggerates a little. That skirt was FAAAAAAAABULOUS! And after the first day, we made better time.
