In Dubai

A video from the base of the Burj Khalifa!

We are in Dubai

Just a quick hello to all our friends and students. We landed in Dubai
a little while ago and took a taxi to the Burj. That is one tall
building! Everyone is doing well and we all got hood sleep on the
plane.

An experiment for my students:
Our plane flew up and over the North Pole to get to Dubai (UAE) insted
of going across the middle of the globe. Why?Try this: take a length
of string and find a globe of the Earth. Hold one end of the string on
Los Angeles and stretch it straight across to Dubai (United Arab
Emirates). Mark the length. Now try the same thing going over the top
of the globe. What did you discover? Post your answer in the
comments ;).
Till Next Time, Mr. Bailey and the Team

Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from
there. -Gary Syder

Vision Quest to Bangladesh

We have planned numerous outreach projects. The Vision Quest program is one of these. Working with RTN Syed Abu Sayeed of the Rotary Club of Metropolitan Khulna we will bring one VQ kit and a refill kit to make over 400 pairs of glasses. The Vision Quest program is something we, lay people can do, simply and inexpensively and allows us to work with the club in Khulna. Syed was the team leader of the GSE team that visited us this fall from Bangladesh.

Bangladesh sits on the east side of India, with Dhaka our first destination in the center

We have a go for departure Saturday at 4:00, yowser. We'll land in Dhaka Monday. Look for a picture from the airport.

Audio Test 3

Trying to figure out how to host audio... stay tuned.

Our final team meeting was last night - we leave in five days! My awesome teammate Jim Bailey showed us the film "Gum for my Boat" and now I'm totally amped and stoked to meet Bangladeshi surfers at Cox's Bazar!
