Meeting Mike

Wed, Feb 24th, 2010  |   Funny Stuff, People, Places, Adventures 11 Comments

There are some really strange things in Lembeh. Take Mike for example.

Mike Veitch

Mike is the manager at NAD-Lembeh Dive Resort. He’s been kind enough to invite me over to NAD several times, but I’ve never actually made it over there until tonight (actually, I’ve totally been avoiding him, on the advice of mutual acquaintances).

Mike is from Canada. As if that weren’t sufficient reason to give him wide berth, Mike has been alone for a long time, stuck on a small island in Indonesia.

He is, let’s say, desperate for companionship.

…which is why I was quite happy that Hergen (who is the manager at Lembeh Resort) was also present for the evening.

Hergen is cuter than I am (at least in Mike’s eyes), so he bore the brunt of Mike’s misguided affections.

Mike and Hergen

Not long after I took this photo, Hergen wisely rushed back to his wife at Lembeh Resort, and I fled returned to Kasawari Lembeh Resort, leaving Mike…once again…frustrated and alone.

Note to Mike: This is what you get for inviting me over!

    Now Mike looks positively EVIL in that first image and Hergen looks as if Mike’s been slipping him some dodgy cocktails, or are his eyes always that red?? I guess maybe they are. Good to see these guys hanging out too, they work too damned hard. Not sure Mike and the word WORK belong in the same sentence though?? Cheers all, Mark.

    I have 11 female kitchen employees to keep me busy… besides, Hergen is not my type, a bit too white. He needs to get out of the office more
