隨著飛機的引擎聲關閉,我知道目的地已經到達。
走出機場,懷著忐忑不安的心情,我搭上前來迎接的接駁車,準備前往公司。
公司的園區坐落在沙馬林達郊區,這座城市對一般人來說相當陌生,但是對於從事國際煤礦業或是木材業的朋友們一定不陌生,因為這兩樣東西就是沙馬林達發家致富的起點,甚至可以說是經濟的命脈。
加里曼丹島不像印尼爪哇本島那樣地擁擠,在自然資源上也是遠遠贏過爪哇島與其他島嶼,有著豐富的自然資源與生態物種,以及最重要的因素之一:人煙稀少。根據2017年的資料,整島每平方公里只有29人,充分說明的此處的未經開發。
所以,煤礦開採才能在此地萌芽,因為沒有人可以監督,多數人也漠不關心。
人,果然才是最可怕的物種。

可能就是因為地廣人稀吧,公司的建築物蓋的很大,但是卻沒有什麼人,對於生活在台北很多年的我簡直是不可想像。公司的秘書很快將我引進辦公室,帶我到地質探勘部門和同事打個招呼。
公司的總地質師叫做Bono,年約40來歲,個子不高,長的很可愛(?),像足了韓國的搞笑藝人柳炳宰,他的客氣頓時使我安心不少,我們用英文比手畫腳溝通了一番,當我發現他桌子上擺放的那些岩石標本時,兩個人仿佛找到共通的語言一般,談話的氣氛瞬時輕鬆了起來。
從言談中得知,Bono先生是個熱愛挑戰的人,雖然是本土印尼人,但是當初為了尋找礦物資源曾經去過內蒙古工作過,現在則是為了自己熱愛的土地工作著。
一年多後,他離開了公司,前往寮國做金礦的探勘,不過那是另一段故事了。
和他確認自己的工作內容與範圍後,我心中頓時有個底,他也很大方地提供我所需要的資料,像是加里曼丹島的地質圖,我望著花花的地圖與岩層說明,感覺既陌生又熟悉。

我想從某部分來說我是幸運的,因為並非每個人都能夠在畢業後學以致用。

外派員工宿舍,比想像中乾淨
回到宿舍,望著自己的床與廁所,這裡的狀況比我想像中好得多,但是七八個小時的路程實在讓我感到疲累,我就這樣砰一聲倒在床上,結束在印尼的第一天。
我當時沒有想到,大麻煩將會很快找上我。
