Chris's Trip to the US

Well some of you were wondering what i got up to when i went to the United States of America... Well i had to attend a work course organized by the International Law Enforcement Academy which was an Advanced Certificate of Management Course in Roswell, New Mexico from 20th October to 14th November.. this meant that i wasn't around for the Country Programme in Brunei and therefore missed the Nippon Maru :( but its ok coz this was in itself an adventure.. i guess i was lucky enough to be sent on an adventure again this year.. just to a different place.. here are some pics of my trip as requested by some .. although its not SSEAYP related but this is a 07 blog so.. yea.. enjoy :)
