Semester 2 starts tomorrow (cause Indonesia is on the crazy Northern-hemisphere timetable), so I am off to Coffee Time to prepare for English Seaking 2 classes. blah

It really is off-putting to have the REAL year disected by a fake academic year, like in USA & EU. Semester 2 is starting, at the start of a new year.

2 voicemails today yippee! thank you, boys.

ps- I wanted to do an Enhanced podcast, but stupid iPhoto can’t “see” my iPhone – so I can’t save the pics. Urgh. stoopid Apple.

Jakarta trip, enhanced podcast 2. I start where I cut off yesterday.
I had a great time catching up with my old Korean flatmate from Brisbane, who now works in Indonesia.
Had ‘drinks’ at the Australian Embassy too. But, scary security to get in there!

Also get a taste of luxury ex-pat life in Jakarta. Wow, I could get used to that. :-O

Special thanx to Tim for his Valentine’s voicemail today!

Part1 of my trip to Jakarta, the big smoke! Enhanced podcast
I decided to just cut this in half at the 21 minute mark. More digestible that way.

After a brief interuption by 2 of my favourite language teachers, who I meet on the road… I talk about… um… going to Jakarta.
Just listen and see what I talk about.

Yep, it is episode 200! Didn’t that come around quickly?
Today is Ferdi’s birthday also – hip hip hooray, bukan? I air some frustrations on the BF front at beginning of this episode.

I also talk about my impending Jakarta trip. I am going alone, so have some reservations about whether it is a giant waste of time and money.

Should I stay on in Indonesia: apply for another scholarship?
