dogs, more cats, and palm oil
we have made it to walindi plantation after 60+ hours of travelling and a whole lot of 'seriously, no, wtf am i doing here'. the degree to which the people in my group are all feeling disconnect is pretty severe, yet, here i am, updating livejournal.
we started off the day in the rooftop pool at changi village hotel, then wandered down to singapore city center to go to the long bar at the raffles hotel, have a singapore sling, then to eat some duck noodles (singapore actual noodles, not just singapore style). after a brief flurry of public transit back to grab our bags and get to the airport, we boarded an air niugini redeye to port moresby's international airport. which has one runway, a bunch of barefoot kids, some really damn good coffee, and a bunch of betel nut juice stains. after our flight to hoskins (on a dash-8!) we got an hour drive through kimbe to walindi plantation, and here we are. i am slightly dazed. the truck with all our bags is still broken down at the airport. i am drinking a south pacific lager. la!
new britain is so far full of palm plantations, lanky dogs, and flipflops. hopefully it is not also full of malaria (or hopefully my bags with my DEET get here before nighttime does).
signing off to space out for a while.
