"...You mean like..." Yep. And every kind of bacteria/virus and maybe the occasional crocodile or Caiman or big kitty or a really PO'd monkey. That sort of thing doesn't happen in a tank. snicker.

Not having served, but spent time in the Mekong Delta back in the early 1990's,it's the unrelenting humidity that seems to rot the clothes from your back and make electronic equipment fail, the unrelenting mosquitos, the giant cockroaches that are constantly landing on you and the biggest spiders I have ever seen...

Its God's sh** hole, any jungle is not meant for human entry, steaming location full of danger, especially Malaya
where one has to always be ahead of the game, even when you tie up your hammock, otherwise you wake up bitten to pieces as a colony of the largest ants you have ever seen crawl along the string from both ends!

"...other than that a great holiday location..." Yep. Nothing like a Caribbean vacation.
Mind you, our black flies and mosquitoes can carry a full grown bull moose into the bush. No mean snakes or crocs, left. The mosquitoes and black flies got 'em. snicker.
