Back from the jungle

Have spent my first two nights in the jungle which I can tell you is a very interesting, and very creepy place at night. I used my new perang skills to make myself a hammock which I pitched between 2 trees near the edge of a massive drop, and then spent the whole night worried I hadnt put it up right and that I might die. I didnt die. Was eaten alive though. Little beasties must have found a litte hole in my mozzie net because I shared my bed with lots of them.

Back now for more training. The pace is quickening as the day the youngsters arrive approaches. Found out what my project is today. I will project manage the final stage if the construction of an eco-lodge in a little village called Batu Peteh. Myself and 2 others project Managers (PM's) will be personally responsible for about 15 youngsters. Click link to check out the building I am working on....

Hey, i just realised. Before you went away, you insisted that this wasn't a holiday and you had three golden rules to follow:-

1) No drink
2) No drugs
3) No feeding them after midnight.

Cut to a week over there and your pissed in a bar, and posting about it on your blog?

Did you remember to pack your deckchair as well?

Looks like a good project. I thought for a moment you were running for Prime Minister, then I discovered you are an equally important Project Manager (PM)
