August 3rd 1406 - We are on the chase for Che'enTsu-i. He sure knows his way around these oceans making our job harder but I'm sure that we will get him.

June 30th 1406 - We were also able to secure some trading routes and some spices to trade with the Indians. Overall I think that our trip was successful. Now we just need to get home after we catch this pesky pirate called Che'enTsu-i, luckily we have some holding cells on board.

June 29th 1406 - We were informed that there was a famous pirate in town. We are going to try to catch him and bring him back to china for trials since he is also Chinese. Anyway, I need to go for now, Ill conclude our trip to India in the next post since I forgot for some time.

[Jincheng @229_Zhen_He]

November 30th 1405 - I think that we are pretty welcomed here since its good for their economy and ours too.

[Jincheng @229_Zhen_He]

November 21st 1405 - We arrived a while ago, I'm a little homesick today, I wish I would be home. By the way, the meeting with the ruler went perfectly, rumour among us crew members that he was pretty intimidated too.

[Jincheng @229_Zhen_He]

October 30th 1405 - We are leaving for Calicut now, we expect a 1 day trip and smooth seas. When we get there, we are expecting to meet the ruler and Zhen He will be expected to chat with him.

[Jincheng @229_Zhen_He]

October 17th 1405 - Today we had more free time off of the ship than usual, I went to some local stores and bought some food. I have to say, Indian food is probably the best I've eaten so far on this trip.

[Jincheng @229_Zhen_He]

October 15th 1405 - We met with some locals. They seems intimidated since so I guess our goal was somewhat achieved. The merchants were really happy to see us since they would be making more money trading with us than the locals.

[Jincheng @229_Zhen_He]
