Well folks my time in the Big Brother house has come to an end and I am finally doing what I came here for, and that's to go live in the big scary Jungle!!!There have been a few changes at Raleigh field base in the last couple of days and as a result of this my destination has changed completely. I will now be....
Job: Project Manager
Place: Batu Puteh
Project: Build an Eco Lodge
Simple eh!
Thankfully the project is already off the ground so we shan't be digging foundations (I hope!). We will however be constructing boardwalks, building chalets and creating trails. Suffice to say I am ridiculously excited and can't wait to get out there. Just think I will actually be building something that you guys can pay to stay in for your holidays!!!!
The reason I am so positive about the project is because it is working very closely with the local community. It is a profit share system so when the camp is finally up and running the whole village will benefit financially. I love the theory behind it so I'm keen to get out there and see if it really is going to work that way.
The top photo is part of the main building and the second one is our "accommodation". 5 star all the way baby! Before you start feeling sorry for me look at the piccie below. That's going to be my journey to work. Not bad eh. Sure beats the Northern Line on a Monday morning.So, I'm obviously not going to have access to an Internet cafe for the foreseeable. I will be forwarded post (hint, hint) so feel free to drop me a line c/o The Jungle, Sabah, Borneo (or use the address below if you actually want me to get it.) Also feel free to send over any unwanted power tools, DIY manuals or unemployed construction workers!!
Wish me luck
Bye for now....... Vic xxxxxxx
