To Tuum 11-21/22

I am going to Tuum, (a tiny village in the bush sixteen hours north of here) with some people I have met once, to stay for two weeks doing I have no idea what. This should be interesting.


The beginning of my first day in Tuum. 11-23
600: Get up and go to the bathroom. (outhouse)
605: Attempt to leave the bathroom. Discover that the bar on the outside of the door has somehow latched itself. 
605-625: Try every method of opening the door short of breaking it down. (which would have been quite easy)
625: Stephen, my housemate, comes out of the house and I fail to get his attention. 
625-700: More escape attempts.
700: I finally get Stephen's attention. FREEDOM!!! 
705: I am nearly killed by a falling shower bucket. (We hang a bucket from a hook to take a shower)
