This is the end of my first trip to Indonesia. I will miss my new friends and  I wish I was staying longer or could just hop over easier for the weekend. But reality is not as fun! I miss it for many reasons, but not included in those =  the bad traffic, smog and being both…

I've only been in this nation for less than 9 months but it seems years. Every month there is something happening in this part of the world that keeps everyone on its toes. Below is a summary of the events/issues I have just been able to experience and hear about, which is not even one eighth o…

3 hours of sleep is more like a power-nap rather than a good night’s rest, but I was forced to optimize my time in Jakarta since I was here for only 24 hours (or so I thought). My hotel, the Borobudor, is a resort that sits on 23 acres of landscaped gardens. At 7 am I was out taking pictures in t…

30 is a big number! I can’t believe myself I’m turning 30 today.   Make a list of achievements cure my anxiety. I feel a little bit better when I have long list of positive things I have done for the past 30 years. However, there are some silly things I have done and I’m not very prou…
