Despite the bloody frustrations of iPhone, internet, Apple’s Airport and life…. I have done a flight shopping spree today! Yay for Visa card

Is that enough for your Little Aussie Battler? Hell no!
As I was “making some room on my hard drive” (in the toilet), I got totally crazy kids….

Pinch and a Punch for the First of the Month! Today is 1 March 2011.
Walk with me as I go to buy some ‘pulsa’ for my Mobile phone. Enjoy the dulcit tones of the mosque too!

As I wonder the streets I realise that I really need some food – which is tricky to find in the back blocks.

House & flatmates update too. Find out all the latest craziness and stress from Brisbane regarding my tenants.

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!

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.

Yours truly is heading to Indonesia in exactly 7 hours!!

It is 2:20am now, and i am still packing, and still have some stuff to organise (admin wise). Ahhhhhhh, getting a bit stressed out.

It will be a few days until I can upload the next show sadly. Please bare with me over the next week or 3, as I find my feet in Indonesia. (yes, internet speed and access is going to be a problem I think).

thanks all.
be good!

Scotty.

PS- good news, I managed to get 2 new people signed up and moved in to the Battler Mansion. Praise God for that

The Nany introduces today’s show as I wander about the house, yard, and shed, getting things ready for Indonesia!
If anyone knows of someone looking for a room, please let me know ASAP.

After the waffle and updates on my dis-organisation, I get to some listener feedback too.
