I'm here

After leaving the UK on Wednesday night, I finally arrived in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysian Borneo this morning (it's 6:30pm local time). I have so far learnt the true meaning of the word 'humidity', the joys of a 23kg back pack on international travel and the true complexity of KL airport.

Today has been easy as we've been chilling and chatting mainly, but tomorrow we start the real stuff and we trek to jungle training camp on Sunday - full on! Tuesday I find out my project so I can finally let you know what I'm doing!

The HQ where I'm staying looks like a bit of a squat with suitable charity-esque furnitre and camping/trekking equipment littered everywhere. We're sleeping on mattresses on the (very hard) floor which will probably be quite some luxury compared to what's coming up.

It's good to see the familiar faces of the training weekends as well as some newbies as everyone finally seems a bit more relaxed. I am really excited but also pretty petrified as we're really been thrown in at the deep rnd. It's what I signed up for though isn't it?

Anyway, I'll do this again when I have stuff of more interest to say shall I?
