LAB187 whitey hits the streets


Enhanced podcast- Today is “student day”, so join me and 5000 students as we march around the kampung (suburb)!

I am sure I talk about some other stuff too, and get sidetracked, but I hope you enjoy the pictures on your iPod.

Any questions? Bored? I’d love to hear your feedback and questions ;-)
Just call the number on the right of this entry –>

LAB186 Starvin’ Marvin!


I only have 2 topics in this show, and 1 of them involves me almost starving to death! Yes, fat as I am, I came close to going without any supper tonight (7 Oct), and you can imagine how that made me feel. :-(

I also share with the entire world, one of my student’s very personal “secrets”! It was way more juicier than what I had expected from an Indonesian Muslim student to share. :-O

LAB185 Amoxyl me better


I have become a junkie now. Life in Indonesia has pushed me over the edge – to hard drugs! Luckily here, you can just pop into the Apotik (chemist) and ask for whatever drugs you want. HELLO!

I also fill you in briefly on my new job, Teaching English Speaking 1! Sorry for my waffle, I hope you find the little gems in my little show (Ms Wes.)!

My battles with my Uni’s “efforts” at providing bahasa Indonesia classes to us continue. :-(

LAB184 dozin’ Dosen


Today I wax lyrical about my first few days teaching ‘English Speaking 1′ to all the young (and often cute) Indonesian students.

And it wouldn’t be “Indonesia” if I couldn’t also tell you about the continuing chaos of my bahasa Indonesia program – yes, what I am supposed to be here for! ;-)

LAB183 our holey Lady Maria – in Malang

I’m singing and dancing on a prayer this weekend, after going to 1 of the big Roman Catholic Churches near the centre of Malang city. OK, well, that’s not the reason why actually – but it is part of what I talk about today. I also air some dirty laundry ;-)

Other than Catholocism, I talk about Indonesia’s obsession with Agama (religion), and have some exciting news…

I have a JOB in Indonesia now! (Can U guess what as?)

LAB182 moody Malang

Everyday life in moody Malang. OK, so not moody itself, but I am moody at the moment.
I run through my day and my current thoughts on learning Indonesian at UMM… or not. The clouds are brewing over France right now, as 2 of the French girls look set to do what their government did a few years ago… drop a nuclear bomb in Australia’s backyard!

Really struggling to understand and communicate with the Kos boys I live with. Yeah, they look hot/cute as they laze about part-naked at times, BUT I do also want to be able to chat with them – you dirty people thinking otherwise! ;-)

Lucky I have so much cheap deep-fried fatty food to lift my spirits, and my weight. LOL
