Le Grandeur Jakarta

... awful documentary on Michael Jackson. I'd thought it would be interesting, but it was really amateur, had blatantly incorrect facts, and the producers had obviously been unable to license any music as all of the tracks being played were shocking cover versions. I stopped watching this absolute travesty, and watched comedy instead. Speaking of comedy, there was a German guy sat next to me sporting a ludicrous ponytail and a bow tie...

... like the club celebrity so was quite fun..though i go red when i think about it now! <br><br>Holly, Michelle, Chris and I are going to head down to tourist central (Kuta) tomorrow and then i leave Bali monday evening to get to New Zealand which is apparently freezing at the moment..noo! Anyway i will next update when i am settled in Australasia. I'm really sad to be leaving Asia behind but it's been the most amazing 7 months and i'll be back again soon..so many more things to see here! x <br>

... nuit. Surprise, notre classe executive ne possede, pas de lit. Nous avions quand meme des sieges confortable mais franchement pour 9 heures de trajet, ce n'etait pas genial. Rejean a lu et dormie moi aussi. Nous etions surpris que l'on puissent dormir un peu tout de meme. C'est quand meme pas aussi rapide que les indonesiens. Ils s'endorment presqu'automatiquement. Ce matin , nous sommes partie a la recherche d'une ...

A nice relaxing weekend was the plan after my second week back into the workforce, and how I needed it. I think parts of my brain have forgotten how to work, and the rest is having to do double time to make sure I get through the day without falling over! Friday was nice and quiet, after a long walk with Jasper and we settled in for the evening with a carry out and a film. Jasper was back up at day break wanting his walk, so off I went to the park to run the legs off ...

... absolutely hosing the air with thick black charcoal fumes. I reckon something like 80% of the trucks engines are in this sort of condition. "Maintenance be facked". There was no such thing as a ferry ticket for bicycles. Buses, trucks, cars, motorbikes and passengers yes, bikes, no, so they just waved me through. Facking sweet! 'Give the white face something for free' is reverse philosophy in these parts, and I'd have rather paid the $3 just to stop me worrying about being ...

... right now, and I wish I could show everyone see how cool the process of packaging my stuff up was...in short, it is now on it's way wrapped in the material of an old rice sack and hand stiched on the sides by one of the men. Pretty cool actually. Well this is going to be a short e-mail, i need to get back to my now lighter backpack and find my way to the bus or train station. Until nexttime......:) Daphne

... Het volgende probleem was dat ge om ne visa te krijgen blijkbaar een terugvlucht moet hebben vanuit Indonesie binnen een maand tijd. Hebben we dus ni. We hadden gepland om op het internet een vlucht te kopen van Bali naar singapore. Wij dus vragen waar we op het inernet konden om die vlucht dan maar zo snel mogelijk te kopen. Genen internet en de douanier laat mij de gate ni nog eens verlaten. De enige optie die we krijgen is een vlucht kopen bij een gastje van 20 ...

We flew into Jakara after vowing to never take another bus again! It's just as people describe it - Polluted so that you can't see the horizon ... didn't see the hustle and bustle so much, maybe because it was a Sunday. We only had a day here, en route to Kuala Lumpur, so as soon as we got to the hotel we got some advise from reception and went to the ...

... been to the moon). The hostel overlooked the view and well, you just couldn't get better than to sit down with a beer and look at it endlessly. It was lightly smoking and was just a short walk across the crater of another volcano. However, as we approached the view of the inside of the crater, Paul was slightly disappointed to just find a 'great big steaming hole'. He wants lava. It has to be done. You have to try ...
