2009-06-03T01:08:00.000+08:00

You go where there is light. Went to the beach and there happened to be
a big birthday party going on, complete with spotlights

Happy Birthday to me!

2009-05-18T17:35:00.000+08:00

Nothing wrong with turning 50 when you are where you want to be and with
who you want to be with.

Created for a great cause

Belajar bahasa Indonesia, Learning Indonesian

2009-04-07T01:37:00.004+08:00

If you are planning to visit Indonesia, or Bali as most people do, you should click HERE and find what a wonderful job the folks at Learning Indonesian do.

I found this site when it was first launched through iTunes. The free lessons are great, and the paid subscription is even better.

As well as a "new look" website, they now have a blog with posts from their recent visit to Jakarta and Bali.

Drop them a note when you visit, tell them Michael in Bali sent you.

Wow!!!!!!!!

2009-04-04T01:06:00.002+08:00

Just realized it was one year ago today that I first stepped on
Indonesian soil (actually asphalt) in Medan. Amazing what can happen in a years time.

Sooooooooooooo many pictures

2009-03-31T10:55:00.002+08:00

After the visit to Singapore I had to post pictures on Picasa. You can
see them HERE

What a difference 2 years makes

On vacation......

2009-02-26T12:29:00.002+08:00

So, we've been in Jakarta since the 19th on vacation. We've been enjoying some really good food, going to the movies (wonderful cinemas they have here) and shopping. Shopping in the sense of looking around cause nothing we really need. Eight and nine story malls are plentiful, nothing like this in the US, who's behind the times now?
Friday we go to Bandung for more shopping, clothes are plentiful and cheap, so we'll see what we can find there that we need.
I'll have pictures when we are back home and will get them posted.
