You know you live in the jungle when.....

You know you live in the jungle of Thailand when

• You wake up in the middle of the night and a ferel cat is on your bed.
• Your nightly brushing of hair is done with a lice comb.
• You drive into a bigger town and marvel at the sizes of homes (which three months ago would have been classed as shacks)
• You clean and dress every scratch.
• You crave rice if you don't have it at least twice a day.
• You lace your food with Chilli instead of salt and pepper.
• Running water...hot water.... and a flushing toilet are novel.
• You go and have dinner (as Colin did) with the head of the Army and you then stay up all night vomiting after eating their chicken and pork (possibly raw saoked in blood!)
• You eat the whole fish and think it a real treat - scales, fins and suck on the bones. Ok, ok we don't eat the head yet....but hey, who knows!
• Taking patients to hospital on a motorbike (including babies) is common place.
• You are teaching one of the leaders how to drive and you have to include teaching them to avoid children, chickens, cows, bikes, laden trucks and potholes.
• You are happy and at peace.
