Please disregard. I see you used Bluewater.
 
Thanks for the pictures. A lot of nudies!
Will make a short video when I'm back beginning of June.

P.S: just ordered an Xdeep Ghost Deluxe too. It will be my first time using it (and using a BP/W) during this trip to PG.
Hope it won't take long to feel comfortable enough with it...

I think you will love it and if you have been using a more traditional jacket style BC, then plan on dropping some lead- you will be much less buoyant with the Xdeep.
 
By the way.... all of the Filipino food I had in PG was EXCELLENT.... especially at El Galleon and next door at I think now called Blue Lagoon.
Fresh, flavorful, delicious, and unique. I was so impressed.

PS: I live between SF and NY and used to live in Bangkok and Tokyo and know good food!!! It was actually really wonderful!!! I tried the whole local menu at Galleon.
 
How was Bhutan and East Timor?
Bhutan was amazing, but a lot of work and expense to get to.
East Timor-- didn't happen and I forgot to separate it as an independent country (my bad!) I lumped it together with the rest of Indonesia-- so, officially 3 countries not visited and probably won't get to.

Also I haven't been to Macau- just for the record. And, I was in Hong Kong when it was British, so not sure if I have really been to Hong Kong?, but I do remember crossing the border into Canton from Hong Kong back in 1985.

My favorite Asian country is Burma or Myanmar (depending on your timeframe and perspective) -- fortunately, I was privileged to visit both of them and it will always be Burma to me.. :wink:
