Hey everyone i am sorry its been such a long time since i updated you on everything. I know that most people me on facebook as well so i didnt think i needed to write on here but i have heard some people want more of an update so here it is.
I cant believe how fast this school year went. Since i last blogged i have gone a few adventures. March i went on my first trip out of the country to Maylasia. It was a great trip. I got to see the largest flower in the world in bloom. Its called the rafflesia flower and its about 3 feet in diameter or bigger and can weigh up to about 20 lbs. It was a sight to see because they are only in bloom for like 2 weeks and I saw it. I have some pictures posted on Facebook.
In April i went to Jojakarta which is close by to the volcano Mt Murapi that erupted in October. We got to see the destruction it caused and believe it or not it was still smoking from october. Also there I saw two famous temples, Borobudur a buddist temple and Prambanan a hindu temple. They are both built during the 9th century. Its amazing to think that these temples were made with no modern technology.
In May i spent a weekend exploring a new island of Indonesia. It was remote and you had to get there by fast boat. It was great no cars or motor bikes. If you wanted to get around you walked, rode a bicycle, or went on a horse drawn cart. What a relaxing weekend. We did have a few hiccups with transportation but made our flights on time and know what to do for next time.
Also in May i moved apartments. I love my new apartment!! Its about the same size as the other one but is a 10 minute walk to school and i can get to downtown in like 15-20mins. I live in a little residential neighborhood and we can walk to 3 different malls. Its nice to have options and not be limited to what you do because of traffic. I am sure i will love life even more this next year.
We have had some troubles trying to get taxi's to find our new place because there are many streets that look the same and with the same name. We live in between two pretty big roads but there are 5 streets names Jalan Dahksa and we live in between two of them lol. I have only lived there 3 weeks but enjoy my little garden and roof top pool that the apartment has to offer.
The school year finished about the same as everyone elses. The students last day was on June 9th. The school year went by so fast. I am sad to see my kids move on because we had such a great year but a majority of them will be back next year so i will still see them.
I stayed the weekend after school ended and left on monday and arrived states side last Tuesday. After 3 long plane rides i finally made it home. All the flights went pretty smoothly and were on time so that was such a blessing. I was a little jet lagged but got over it pretty quickly. I was back to normal by Saturday.
Being home is nice but different. Things here dont change but I feel that i have so its weird to come back. I have been just relaxing the last week. I have spent a lot of time with the family. I will be in PA for most of the next month. I will be going to Colorado to visit some friends and then go to NC where i used to live to visit friends and colleagues in July for 5 days. I hope i get to see a lot of people while i am home. I wont be home this Christmas because i have decided to travel to Sri Lanka and Australia.
If you want to hear more about my adventures feel free to email me or send me a msg on facebook. Thanks for following me and my adventures over the last year.
