One week to go...

Just one week til we fly out. I dont feel very prepared right now, I got my travel insurance only two nights ago, i havent packed, nor had my full lot of injections.

I was meant to have three Hep B injections before i went but i left it too late to book appointments so im gona have to make do with just 2...im not sure how you get Hep B...i just googled it and apparently its like AIDS. so i definitely wont be drinking blood, sharing needles or having sexual contact with someone who has Hep B. Good job i googled it cos that was my plan for the first weekend.

I need to get Malaria tablets as well...i chose not to get a rabies jab cos i found out that the jab doesnt make you immune to rabies, it just allows you another 48 hours to get to a hospital if you get bitten or scratched by some mental dog foaming at the mouth. If you dont get the jab you only have 24 hours to get to the hospital. If you dont get there in time then you're dead within three weeks. Rabies is pretty mental.

Been looking into a six day tour of the garden route that includes things like touching a cheetah, riding an ostrich, diving with great white sharks, sky diving and bungee jumping. Really want to get on it. it will be in our last week, after the 4 weeks volunteering...ill keep you posted.

Apparently there's a computer where we are staying so ill be able to update this blog quite regularly and upload photos etc. Dont know what the computer will be like though, might be awful like those Acorn ones you used to have at school, remember them? i remember playing a game called Pod where it says at the top of the screen "Pod can _ _ _ _" and you had to fill in the blanks with a verb like 'jump' or 'swim' and Pod (Who is a big tomato with eyes and legs) would do what you told it to. It wasnt til a year later that we were taught that tomatoes dont really have legs, eyes or the ability to 'leap'.

sorry. anyway thats it for now...ill "blog" again later...

Actually im not going to say "blog" from now on cos it makes me sound like one of those douchebags who sit in starbux with a laptop and write constantly, they can go blog themselves.
