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
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 ...
Hello again I'm going to try to fit my entire second week into this post, so as to not bore everyone too much. I feel like I have written a fair bit on this trip, but everything has just been so interesting. After the mountain we spent 2 nights in an Eco-lodge close to Poring hotsprings. With the exception of a cockroach the size of my hand which I had to kill the first night, the place was ok. While there we went to poring hotsprings, which is a bit of a misleading name. I suppose there were hotsprings there at one time, but now it's just bathtubs which you can soak in and one small roped off section of natural hot springs. While most of us did take a hot bath to soak our aching muscles, the more interesting part was the activities around the baths and pools (which were overridden with children who are on school holiday). There was a nice canopy walk, as well as a waterfall where thousands of tiny little fish gave us all a free fish pedicure. The highlight of the day ...
Hola amigos! This is going to be my last post. I’m pretty gutted to be headed back (I’m about to board my final flight to Sydney shortly), but my wallet and my waistline will be happy. Straight back to work when I land, which is less than ideal. So after Budapest, I flew to Barcelona where I had 4 nights. Again, the decision to go there was dictated by what flights I could get for the right price and the right time. Budapest is a bit of a tricky place to get to and from. But I had never been to Spain and it all worked, so that’s where I went! I have to say, I’ve really killed the hotel/accommodation game this trip. Other than the place in Vienna (which was absolutely fine and new and cheap, but no frills), everywhere I have stayed has been fab. The hotel in Barcelona was new and very central in a cool neighbourhood. It also had a rooftop pool, daily activities in the lounge (I.e. local craft beer tasting) and had few bowls of candy (lollies) in the lobby. The room was small-ish, ...
