it's been an eye opener trip for me. some good, some bad.easy peasy getting flight from SG to JKT on Emirates. nice big plane. personal entertainment systems. no alcohol but that's fine. its just a 1 hr flight. so every once in a while, my movie would freeze while they make some public announcement…

Advice for the day: "The road is flat and tarmacced" Our plan was to ride the last 50 km along the coast, then to follow a small road up through the foothills of the mountains before joining a bigger road, towards Jakarta. Happy with our news we set off: Obviously the road was hilly immediately, m…

I was assigned to go to Sorowako (Soroako) by my supervisor at Madania Educational Inovation Center.
