Thanks for all the advice!
I'll be almost exclusively in Kalimantan Timur. I'm going for my PhD fieldwork so will spend almost all of my time based in a forest camp in a reserve near(ish) Balikpapan. I've not actually visited this field site before so I'm a bit sketchy on the details of the camp but from what I can gather it looks like it'll be 4 months of sleeping in a hammock under a tarpaulin, washing in a river, generator electricity and walking 3 hours to the nearest village to pick up some phone signal and internet. Oh and leeches... don't forget the leeches. If that doesn't break my LFGSS addiction, nothing will.
Looking forward to it but having just said goodbye to my girlfriend puts a slight pall on it.
