The world's knowledge is pretty much accessible anywhere. Although experience and specialist knowledge are more difficult to google, you can still phone or e-mail someone more experienced than yourself. Seeing that SANAE is connected to the web and has a good telephone connection I will have enough resources of knowledge and experience. The resources of bodies and hands to implement what needs be is limited and therefore potentially problematic but what really worries me is that panic stricken yell of: "We forgot to bring: ......!!!".
No shops or DHL or Fedex for 14 months.
On the one hand I relish the thought of 14 months of absolute marketing cease fire. No commercials of the-next-really-essential-item-you-never-needed-until-now and no telephone marketers who religiously believe they will convince you that you need a second cellphone.
But there is a lot to be said for convenience. Our lives have evolved into convenience whirlpools and I am not sure how I will adapt in the absence of it.
But maybe I should stop philosophizing about it and run through my "What to take" list one more time....
Baie sterkte!
