Hallo

Couldnt find an "Introduction" thread, so I thought I would say a few words of introduction.

Found this website by accident a few weeks ago, finally got around to registering.

I went to CH & was in Col A from '85 until '90 when I left after my first term in the Deps. It was being put in the bottom set of Physics just because they had never had a girl do A level Physics before that made me thing "wtf?". That and getting a summer job made me realise there was a whole world outside of CH that needed exploring.

Ok - so leaving in the middle of a year wasnt the greatest plan and did mess up my A levels a bit, but I went to a great 6th form (1800 16-19 year olds) and had a fantastic time.

Took a year out, went to Uni, met my future husband, got a 1st. Did a Master's degree. Moved to the Netherlands in '97, did the whole "cool appartment, sports car" thing. Got bored, and moved to Borneo in '03 for a simpler life. Fantastic place.

So what about you all?

Ooh, Borneo - I guess you've seen the orang-utans (spl?) then?

actually I've been here two years now, and still havent seen them! You only get to see them in sanctuaries at set times, and that is very touristic that we have been saving it for visitors, except the plane is always late or or or a million other reasons why we miss the feeding times!

We have however seen many other types of monkeys, hornbills, monitor lizards, cobras, alligators, wild boars. orchids, etc that all live in and around our garden!
