Going to the jungle

I can see this happening to Miles when he's in Thailand. Forget the jungle, he may not even survive the city.

Hahaha, that's quite mental. But I don't want to be near touristy places or in cities. I hate all of that. Might as well just go to Seoul for a week. Those are some vicious looking women, but that guy most likely did something quite silly. Probably smashed a rice cooker or something.

For me it's more something like this, but without the gay arse music and blowing bubbles nonsense, but the problem is that I don't see any hunting for animals or close encounters with snakes and that is what a jungle adventure should have at its core. I also don't want to meet any western hippies as that would spoil my experience. I want something quite isolated and unique.

No, I'm having second thoughts about this jungle thing now. It would be better if I had someone to go with, to have some banter with, but alone is a bit sad and what if I got bitten by a snake and couldn't get help. I don't know, just trying to weigh things up in my mind. Maybe I should just stay home and read more books, but they are only going to inspire more fantasy ideas. I would probably read The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and decide to build a spaceship or something.

Find a group of like minded people going where you want to go. Join a club, even an on line club that travels.

I would love to meet people who want to explore, that would be good. The wife would typically go, but she hates jungles. I don't blame her really.

Sleeping in a jungle is one of the most unnerving things I have ever done. You want to go to sleep and everything else is waking up. Creatures running around in the trees, bugs and reptiles crawling over you...worst few nights of sleep I ever got. I see this going horribly bad for you Miles. Wait till I get back from Afghanistan so I can mount the Saddo rescue team to come find you.
