hello. i thought some of us worrying bout obs would want some tips...
i got some info from my friends in mg...they went for obs already...some just this week... haha
anyway, mustmustmust bring sun block and insect repellent hor...if not ull just die...for the long sleeved shirt and long pants, its important to protect u from sunburns when we do kayaking and hiking. apparently, the number of hours ur group kayaks depends on ur group's instructor...so some did 10 others did 3...yeah...and bout the peeing outdoors :P. there IS one day when u have to do ur business outside (dig pit and squat!) cause we'll kayak to this place and camp there one night or something. im not sure if we'll be shifting campsite everynight but im sure we'll be sleeping in a tent all four nights. yeah, i heard there'll be bout 4-5 ppl in one tent and it's quite squeezy. its either rock climbin or high element, depending on your instructor. also, u dont need that many pairs of shorts, but long pants is very important. food! breakfast and lunch will be buns or something and dinner will be self cooked...yeah. dont bring sleeping bag cause it will add to ur weight, and i dont think u need it. bout the bagpack, they will provide one for u to "repack" ur stuff into. i think. and bring wet tissues (esp girls ^.o, very important!) yeah...and there's not much interaction between groups i think.
my friend's class was split into two groups according to index number. i heard ours will be entirely random...evening out the guys i think...:P
ok tts all i know so far i think...and if anything doesnt turn out true dont blame me...ive been kind enough to not find enjoyment in watching the rest suffer. :D just kidding...
c YA!
