It's hot in Thailand, but not in Antartica!

Today was the first day back in the 3 cold showers a day routine. Yuck. Wake up, shower, do errands, eat breakfast/lunch, shower, go to work, eat, come home, shower, go to sleep.

Today it was 97. May I point out it's FEBRUARY??? I think this is still technically Thai "winter".

This isn't abnormal. It's been and will continue to be in the high 90s for the next 4 months. And then it will cool off to the mid 90s, but it'll start raining for a couple hours a day for the following 4 months and then in about November, it will go back to high 70s/low 80s, that beautiful hoodie at night weather.

So to even out this ridiculous Thai weather I've been looking at jobs in Antarctica. So yeah, there are a bunch of scientists and whatever, but there's also a support team of about 1,000 people, recent high school/college grads, travelers, professionals, and even retired people who work in Antartica for 4 months (October to February) to wash dishes, clean toilets and all that other fun stuff that has to be done. And you're with 999 other people who think that scrubbing toilets in Antarctica would be a fun way to spend 4 months. So the application process sounds pretty intense and you have to apply about 8 months in advance, so I'm thinking I'll apply next year for the 2008-2009 season. Wish me luck! Danny's said he's in. Anyone else?

I'm working on my California WOW write up. It's long and oh so Thai. I'll post it tomorrow.

And happy birthday Alex, although I'm pretty sure he doesn't read this.
