Final podcast from Indonesia on 4th July 2011. I’m feeling very sad today, but not sure if that comes across in the show.

Will miss SO much when I leave Malang, however will NOT miss the call for prayer blasting from the mosques!

Despite my real language progress, I feel kinda optimistic/possitive about my abilities during part of this show.

As I head home, I reflect on not feeling “anchored” to anywhere, or anyone.

Quick update from Medan 26 Nov. where I am staying (and sleeping in) the bed of my ex-boyfriend, while his wife sleeps on the floor!

Today’s is so short, that I play the old (and new) voiceletters received in November/December.

Thanks for calling. And for your concern over the volcano eruptions.

I venture into the depths of Sumatra this week for my friend’s wedding! I ramble about travelling in Indonesia (hell), and some cultural observations of how an Islamic wedding works. Also, I meet my ex’s new wife(!).

As I listen back to this, I really do talk a lot about the travel. Sadly, in Indonesia, just getting somewhere is it’s own adventure. This CAN be fun, but not always; especially when you just want to bloody well arrive already!
Hopefully you find it interesting.

You can probably guess that this means there is good news on the crackBook hardware front!

Well, whilst my laptop is now restored to it’s original (2009) glory – with tiny 160GB HDD – the internet has decided to pack it in now.
To use my iPhone4 I need to have the newest version of iTunes. After 3 hours, and a crash (meaning I had to start again), it is back to saying “5 hours” to download. I hate to think how long this 2mb file will take to upload.

I’ve downloaded new wordpress iPhone app, so here we go.

Oh wait; where is option to attach a pic?!
Urgh. Stupid app. I can’t find out how to do it…

Tonight I’m in Medan, north Sumatra. Looking across to Malaysia.
Sleeping at my ex’s, Robi’s house – with his new wife. Ah yes, the irony of life

At the risk of having to change my name, or lose my job, I am going ahead with revealing the INSIDE and OUT of the Aussie Battler mansion!

Yes, it’s true kids. I better you never thought you would be a no HOLES barred chance of seeing the inside of the battler love nest?! :-O

- please don’t hunt me down or stalk me. Or I’ll have to set the hounds on you!!
