"fune"

I have recently found out that starting next year in April I will have a new home on a fune, or ship, for three months. I will once again join my favorite NGO PECAEBOAT to travel around the world and visit many many countries. My last voyage was three years ago on the 39th cruise, and I thought living on a big fune was kinda fun. I never got seasick, even when we collided into a typhoon on our way to the Philippines. The fune had seven bars, so I never went thirsty either. There a theater on the fune, so I could watch some movies when I needed some relax time. The fune crew members were all from the Ukraine, so I even got to learn a few Russian words such as "supeseeeba!" The only thing I didn't really like about the fune was my room and its close proximity to the loud club that would play annoying music until the wee hours - especially on nights when I needed to get up and work the next day. Well, I heard there is a new fune that PEACEBOAT is using now and it is much larger and newer, so I am pretty excited (although I will kind of miss the fuzzy orange rugs and 70s decor that went along with the older fune.)

Here is a photo of my soon-to-be home. Want to check out more about PECAEBOAT? Go to the link below and click on English if needed...
