I spoke too soon...

Volunteer in the fourth world, the world's newest nation. Provide technical skills to a largely illiterate population. Spend a year working c85 hours a week. Meet and learn about new cultures.

Catch exotic diseases.

I have a sore back, sore wrist, sore ankles, fever and a rash has appeared on my stomach.

I have dengue fever.

Hopefully I'll be able to write about it in a few days.. I mean it isn't usually fatal, right?
