Home at Last

It was so nice to sleep in my own bed in my own apartment. After traveling for two days, I was able to stay awake until the impressive hour of 8pm before falling into my bed. Before I get lost in the joys of being back in the land of street lights, sidewalks, and Diet Dr. Pepper, I thought I should share the highs and lows of my last week in Indonesia.

I finished my project deliverables! It was after all the reason I was in Indonesia. The last week was a frantic exercise in time management to finish all the edits and formatting on the manuals I was creating, but I was able to get it all done and submitted to my organization before the end of Friday rolled around. It was nice to leave without having any project work needing to be finished.

I was also able to get a couple new experiences in Jakarta before flying out.

Interesting art display in Pacific Place mall. 

Cocktail at Potato Head.

Milk shake at Magnum Bar Cafe.

It is hard to believe now that I am back that 11 weeks have gone by. My apartment looks the same, though a little messier than I thought (I might miss the housekeeping that came with my Kost). I remember my way to the grocery store, though remember that there are crosswalks and sidewalks seems a little harder. If you every get the chance to travel to Indonesia do not pass it up. It is an amazing and diverse country, and there are still many places I hope to explore one day. I just would not suggest Jakarta as a destination.
