I'm simultaneously bursting out of my skin with excitement and freaking out because SHIZNWOEINXNDIOESI!!! Jakarta! A month!!! I get home from vacation and move a week later! I think!

Gha! Packing! Boxes! Things! To dos! Bathing suits to by! Typhoid to get inoculated against! Visas! Paperwork! Ummmm...hammock! Coconuts! Sate! Crazy crazy crazy big city life! Insane traffic! Heat! Humidity! Pools! 

So much to do. So much to process, but for now, I'm focusing on one thing only, saying hey, Winter, sayonara sucker! I will not be cold for like three whole years, and that is about the best thing ever.

YAY! I've made the Japan --> Indonesia switch before. It's hilarious how "sensical" Bahasa Indonesian will look to you after spending years trying to read kana/kanji in Japan! Also, the best pork on earth is in Bali, and it's a gorgeous and easy getaway from Jakarta.

Oh wow -- my blog reader somehow lost your blog. Right at the time I was on the very edge of my seat, waiting to see where you would be moving to! So I've remedied the problem and wow -- Indo?! How exciting and I'm so very jealous of you right now. Good luck with getting everything together and over there in one piece!
