As is evident from my sparse posts on Australia, as the holidays get closer, life has been getting busier. Term 4 has come to an end, my dad has been here enjoying the relaxed Vientiane lifestyle for a week already, and tomorrow we are off to Malaysian Borneo for two weeks. Walking in the woods with my dad was a common pastime of my childhood years, and now we’ll be taking it to the next level with a climb up Mt. Kinabalu and visit to the world’s largest cave chambers. These woods will be hotter, more exotic, and filled with wildlife much more interesting than the deer of central Virginia. As our itinerary consists mostly of activities involving nothing but insect repellent and hiking shoes, my connection to the world outside the jungle will be sporadic.
Happy holidays! Happy new year!
The blog will return in 2012.
