... permi de voir toute la vallee. Un spectacle grandiose et parfois mysterieux puisque les nuages gambadaient et rampaient au pied des majesteuses montagnes. Sans oublie que Mr. Bromo fume de plus belle. Nous sommes retourner voir notre grand cendrier du Bromo accompagne du quebecois et du malais.

... 2009 holds for me and you! Leaving here seems weird. I gave Suti her presents and a hug goodbye. These people and this school has made an impact of me. I will have to start the year with my top ten memories of 2008 or something or I will start the year off reporting my hong kong adventure. Thank you for all your kind words and emails. I don't know how I would have gotten to through this experience without your support and love. :)

... ornaments. With it's clock topped tower the whole looks a bit like a glorified version of a 10 meter dive board. The adjacent square in the midst of the usual male stream of traffic features several monuments which culminate in a flame shaped obelisk commemorating nation building events. In the pompous shrine like museum at its feet the few weeks of fighting in the county's 1945 struggle for independence are documented meticulously behind dark ...

The complex here is so amazing - as well as the luxury of the place, we have 2 houseboys each day making bed, cleaning, washing up, etc. and changing sheets and towels. There are 4 badminton courts, 2 squash courts, a table tennis table, a pool table, and the tennis court on top of the building (which we still haven't used yet!)as well as the huge pool and ...

... He led me to a small dark room where a group of them were sitting around a small fire. One of them was sitting on a wooden stool and offered his seat. They were sharing fried chips from a small bag and offered me some and even encouraged to take a handful. I was touched because these workers don't have very much but they are willing to share what little they have. Compare a billionaire giving a thousand dollars to charity while someone with only 10 dollars giving 1 dollar ...

After, my cousins took Kyle and I back to another mall to find some hello kitty stuff. It was about 5 cousins and 3 of my older relatives, and when ...

... It gets easier, but probably not much safer. Unfortunately, we had arrived there on a weekend so the things we wanted to do were impossible, mainly booking a ship to Sulawesi. So first thing Monday morning we went to the Pelni Office (government ferry service) to book the three o'clock boat. "Sorry, boat cancelled." "What? Are there any others?" "Fudi." "Fudi, what's a Fudi? When is a Fudi?" "Eleven o'clock. Not much time" (It was currently ...
