Wooooooo! Bootleg movies and computer applications! A mall full of black marketness! Awful pic of me but hey that's cool, just be happy you're not lookin at my unshaven legs ;) ahm so yeah. and the pic on the right is a pic of some other wonderful fellow ETAs at lunch today at a pretty gorgeous restaurant here in Jakarta - $3 malay mee (yeah not mie) goreng and $2 sapo tofu mmmm. yeah so alls well and it's purty late here but I thought I'd share with yas the most challenging experience I've had thus far on my way to Depok to meet friends and then to Jakarta to meet up with some US delegates.

Jamie (girl/house-mate to the left of me in the pic) and I took a bus from Bandung to Depok to meet up with Depok ppls and faced the hardest task we've had so far. Picture this. We're on supposedly the nicest bus with AC and even a smoking section and bathroom. It's 7:30pm and we were supposed to arrive at 7pm. We've both drank lots of water and we are on a neverending windy road that does not seem to lead to any city close by. I heard from a friend that you won't find toilets off the ground in a bus, but I had no choice. Luckily I had some tissue with me and stumbled to the back of the bus, into the smoking section, and finally to the bathroom door... It was worse than what I had imagined. There was a non-functional sink and two huge buckets of water swishing back and forth like they were about to flood the bathroom floor already soaking wet with who knows what. but I had gotten that far, I needed to go all the way. It was tricky but with every muscle of my body I overcame my fears and the deed was done.

20 mins later Jamie could not help but try challenge herself. Indeed this was an experience to be had.

oh so many stories so little speedy internet.

nevertheless, much love!
