A new home

My last evening here at the river lodge and my heart is already wrenching. These guys drive me nuts with their laziness and I have grown so extremely fond of them all. They have accepted me as one of them from the start, they have shown extreme patience with my lack of Malay and all seem to be sad to see me go.

I've fallen in love with this place, even though it's a very small world and lightyears away from my 'normal reality'. But then my future's never been more of a blank sheet than at this current moment in time. I'm still going to New Zealand, but jobs have been offered here on the river and I'm going to have to spend some serious pondering time on whether or not to relocate here for a while.

It's nice to have it as an option.
