This weekend we attended the celebration of the naming of the Development Driller III. For those of you who don't know, this is the rig that Adam is working on here in Singapore. Friday night we had dinner at a Cantonese restaurant and tasted some new things. We were served a 5 course meal which included abalone, roasted suckling pig, foie gras, and sticky rice rolls. It was definitely interesting! Saturday was the actual ceremony rig-side. After hearing from CEOs and the breaking of the champagne bottle on the side of the rig, I finally got to go onto the rig. We were all decked out in gloves and hard hats. It was so impressive that this massive structure has been built from the water up. Adam was a great tour guide; teaching me what things are and how they work. I have a new respect for the men that make their living on the rig for weeks at a time. We ended the weekend with a post-naming dinner at the St. Regis hotel (the only 6 star hotel in Singapore). We got all dressed up for the occasion. Dinner was much better this night...still some new food. We tried salmon sushi and caviar. Personally I think I will stick with foods that are cooked! All in all a great weekend!
Safety first!
we clean up pretty nicely
