Enhanced podcast of my January trip to Bali with Ferdi. This is part 1 of my holiday – I chat about unusually good Travel in Indonesia, and about the first few days… alone… with just the boyfriend!
Oh yes…. travelling with a new partner… you know where this will end up! 
A fresh update on all that’s been happening so far in 2011. Thought I should get this in quick, because tomorrow I am heading off to BALI.
It’s holiday time (end of semester break), and I am hitting the road outa Malang baby. First stop Bali, with Ferdi, & to meet the olds. Then to Yogya. 
Enjoy the update, and don’t forget…

Cultural learnings, gender opression & repression. The lights are on… but nobody is home.
I spend the first half of the podcast with some scary observations on Uni students and the education (school) system here.
In fantastic news, I have now changed rooms in my Kos (boarding house)!
Oh yeah, and have picked up a new BOYFRIEND too!!!
ps- recorded 17 Dec 2010 
Remberance Day 11/11/10, and don’t bloody well forget it! Also, remember that I have been on 3 (THREE!) dates so far in Indonesia. Yes, more than the last 10 years or so.
Today I ponder ‘asian cultures’ and how people can announce “I love you” on the first date! So so weird. Yes?
Why not click here and listen right now?
Still no laptop for me, so no podcasts for another few weeks at least. My extremely bad quality white macBook of 2007 is literally cracking everywhere now. Shitty apple. Wish i still had my old 12″ PowerBook!! My mum is posting over my old HDD, so here’s hoping i can pop it in my crackBook OK. if not, i’ll be buying a new laptop – even though the new models will come out in Feb. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Re: Indonesia (& comment from Graveetas),
yes, Indonesia is about 90% Muslim; making it the largest muslim country in the world.
however, much to the ire of Malaysia & Middle East, Indonesians are very moderate muslim.
I would say less than 50% of women wear the head scarf; but it depends on the situation and area.
didn’t hear ANY news on Mrs Obama handshaking; but our TV is broken, and my laptop is dead – so not much news for me lately. I have to go to internet cafe to go online. Urgh.
re; my news. I’ve been on 3 dates since arriving in Malang.
Am having MAJOR dramas with psycho Philippino Wifey at home. She has evicted 1 of other tenants, so my house now has an empty room! very stressed.
love you all, miss you all.
Scotty.
PS- my listener line still works! And I have email on iPhone still.
I am in a frenzy today as I try to pack up my room. Ahhhh, heading to London in 14 hours.
also, on a sad note, Roy has now gone back to Korea.
please email or call me while I am in the UK! Thnx.
oooOOOooo
