I got an email a few years ago with funny responses people had made on exams. I felt like posting it because its funny...... watch out for the elephant
I have been here 5 days now, byt it seems like longer. It seems like I have been away from home for weeks. I guess that is just hte result of a very long day of travel and the persistent jet lag. I am living in an apartment in South Perth with 2 other girls. One is from Calgary and the other is from the UK. Our place is nice and has a gym, pool (unfortinately unheated) and sauna. I have been quite frustrated at times though getting everything organized. We were menatto have a phone hooked up when we arrive, but it wasnt. What should have been an easy fix has turned into a big hassle to try to get the EY housing team in Sydney to get it hooked up for us. Its a freaking phone, why has it taken nearly a week to get it hooked up (its Sunday night, it still isnt done). Our internet we get with our work computers comes with an aircard, but a lot of sites are blocked (like hotmail, and skype - luckily not facebook), so its been really hard to call home. I have a calling card which is super c...
Borneo - part 1 I'm not sure where the idea to come to Borneo came from. It just popped into my head one day in December and the decision was made. Now, I'm aware that most people don't even know where Borneo is, so I'll provide a quick lesson. Borneo is the third largest island in the world and is located north of Java, Indonesia, right in the geographic center of south east Asia. The island is divided among 3 countries; Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei (I'm in the Malaysian part). It's claims to fame are orangutans, Mt Kinabalu, and the very first season of survivor (yes, I'm going to the "survivor" island while I'm here). It also is home to the world's oldest rainforest and it's reported that since just 1996 over 360 new animal and plant species have been discovered here (cool!!) Although not far from Australia, it was a bloody effort to get here because there aren't exactly an abundance of flights (let alone a direct one from ...
Ok, post number 3. Week 2 is in the books and I don't have a lot to report. It was a fairly quiet week; working at the orphanage in the mornings and sight seeing in the afternoons. To be honest, I'm pretty Forted out. I think I've been to more forts in the past 2 weeks, then the rest of my life combined. We've probably seen 5 or 6 now. They are all beautiful, but I'm a bit over it. They are all starting to look the same - the amber fort, the tiger fort, the red fort, the monkey temple, etc. They sound very different by their names, but in actuality they are not. They are all similar colour (due to pollution), they all have monkeys, and none have tigers. Anyway, think its time to lay off the forts for a while so that I appreciate them more again. I figured I would use this post to talk about Indian life a bit - what it's like to be here. The day to day cultural differences are the most interesting thing about this trip so far; how even simp...
