was decidedly too fed-up (literally) with food and all the festive goodies that comes typically with chinese new year, so i went on a hike with a friend.
the hike of 12KM was pretty interesting: i had almost but all forgotten about how humid and warm the tropical jungle could be. (we ventured off the beaten track and went deep into the uncharted regions. This involved bashing through bushes, jumping over fallen logs, listening for strange sounds -especially hissing ones, getting lost and backtracking several times, trying to guess our bearings without the presence of a compass, etc)
all went well except for the last 2km- while trotting back into civilization, a downpour descended such that we were totally drenched. the fact that we had an umbrella made absolutely no difference: we were dripping. unfortunately, i was wearing hiking shoes (waterproof). normally, it keeps water out. but since water was entering through the top, it kept water IN. bah!
but 12 km was a good distance for trotting. at least i got some exercise despite not having access to any gym!
