of caves and cruises
I’d like to dedicate this post to my father, who has continually harassed me from the other side of the planet to update this blog. Without him, this post would not be possible. This one’s for you, Gussie.
For our post-jungle trekking excursion we were taken first to Skeleton Cave, which is about three hours from [...]

I swear. I’ve just been “livin’ the dream” as they say. I have more posts about Malaysia done, but they’re on my laptop with no obvious way to get them out.
Anyhoo, here are some pictures while you wait:

jungle trekking
So, as I mentioned briefly at the end of my last post about “climbing” Mount Kinabalu… as great as climbing the mountain was, nothing could have prepared me for the exciting adventure I faced when I finally reached the bottom: alititude sickness. For four days and five nights I laid in my bed or on [...]

stockin’ up
Alright, I just posted three new entries that sum up what I’ve been doing recently. You can find them below. In chronological order they go:
-jungle fever!

-apparently there is a mountain high enough
That should keep whoever’s reloading the blog 40 times a day (hi mom and dad!) busy for a while. I really doubt [...]

On Wednesday we packed our things and set out East across Borneo to the base of Mount Kinabalu, the tallest mountain in Malaysia. I was expecting to see a lot of beautiful scenery during the five hour drive (as it is pretty much across the entire state) but I was really disheartened to drive by [...]

the daily grind
We’ve finally started working! Well, actually, I’m almost done working now. Tomorrow is the final day for me and my group (Sue and Isla) working in the outdoor nursery with the older guys. The “big kids”, if you will. The outdoor nursery is a lot of fun and I would say that the common theme [...]

So… first thing’s first. We went from our beautiful five star resort in Tuaran back through Kota Kinabalu to the airport (where I easily took many pointy objects and large bottles of unlabelled liquid through customs and security) and then boarded our 17 minute flight. Whew, what a hassle that was. Sidenote: mom has questioned [...]

So… not much chance of getting to use the internet recently. Happy Canada Day! In Malaysia we’re celebrating by playing Joel Plaskett, singing the national anthem, making everyone dress in red and white and going to eat at Pizza Hut.
Anyhoo, I’m currently in this terrible place called the Cyber City Cafe which is just a [...]

So on Friday we went on a mission to find a hairdresser. It is just sooo hot here and hair is not really a top priority for me so I figured I might as well just shave it again. It did not take long to find a hair salon (or saloon, as it were), all [...]
