where i've been lately
i've been amiss in my blogging duties lately. been working, and traveling (on the side, hehe). and i have pictures to prove that!
during one of our 'digs'. yes, i work in close proximity to heavy equipment, and i also wear one of those orange shirts with reflectorized stripes. plus a helmet. and safety glasses. oh, and steel-toe boots! safety first!
hmmm... so i work with unexploded ordnance a.k.a. UXO, in Laos. I learned yesterday from the National Geographic Channel that the US dropped a massive amount of bombs in this country. How massive, you ask? Oh, it's just about much much much greater than those they dropped at Europe, Japan, etc. during the World War II, combined. And our site is at the famous Ho Chi Minh Trail, so you can just imagine the number of bombs we're dealing with. enough about history, here are some of the babies recovered at the site, which we periodically bury for QC purposes during our surveys.
yes, i am living a dangerous life. =P oh well, it pays the bills plus a whole lot of other stuff, including vacations:
Malacca, Malaysia
Bangkok, Thailand
