Holy Lord, I always thought the Wet Season referred to the amount of water that came out of the sky, not the amount of water seeping from my arm pits, forehead, and every little orifice on my entire body!! Without wanting to state the bloomin obvious - it is ruddy hot in Malaysia! But hey, hot I can deal with, I've done hot many, many times before - it's the humidity that's a shocker. I seriously had straight hair when I went out this morning and by the time I made it to the end of the drive I had a Michael Jackson perm circa 1972. Now I know you think I'm probably saying that in a lame attempt to be funny but that sad thing is - I'm not. I seriously have VERY curly hair that is currently circumnavigating my head about an inch away from my scalp. So much for using the 'working for charity' angle to bag myself a man. I haven't got a hope in hell.
Aside from the heat, humidity, permanent moist body state and ever increasing Fro, life in Borneo is ace. The piccie is of Raleigh International fieldbase (not bad eh!), where I currently live and will be for the next month. There's a team of 10 of us here preparing for the Spring Programme. We work, sleep, wash, eat, do yoga (yes even me!), play cards and general exist in one very large building that even at 3am has an average temperature of 31 degrees in any given room. I have to say the photo is particularly flattering and it's a bit like a big hostel inside but at the moment I love it. We have been warned that there is a severe danger of experiencing cabin fever pretty quickly and it's been likened to the Big Brother house by pretty much everyone already. I'm just waiting for the food shortages, challenges and general back stabbing bitchiness to kick in - can't wait!!
