Monsoon Diaries Guidebook: Indonesia in a Nutshell
Saturday, July 10th, 2010Indonesia Reviewed From beaches to mountains, from villages to megacities. This is the diverse face of Indonesia, where thinks look a little like what Earth should look like, and where sometimes you just feel like you’re on Mars (or at Shangri-La). It begs exploration, as it always ends up overlooked for destinations like Bali. So [...]
Obamababy + Singapore Lovin’
Saturday, July 10th, 2010Obama went to a pretty nice school… And Singapore is a pretty nice city… So this is the last day Annah and I have together before we part ways.

Jakarta
Thursday, July 8th, 2010I’m at our guesthouse on a computer with an internet connection slower than molasses (I have yet to find a single computer in Southeast Asia that isn’t buggy, loaded with viruses, runs fast, and has a fast internet connection…am I asking for much?)

We survived the day in Yogyakarta – even though Calvin definitely had a nap during the Ramanyana Ballet – and Caitlin nodded off [...]
Bali Videos
Monday, July 5th, 2010The videos from Penang, Kuala Lumpur, etc. will probably have to wait – if they ever make it onto this blog! The internet is much faster but still relatively slow and I can’t sit in front of a computer all day! In any case, here are a few videos from Bali that I haven’t already [...]

Motorbike Excursions and Not-So-Secret Admirers
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010Caitlin and I (who are still in Bali) wanted to live out our dream of riding motorbikes into the sunset. :/ The only way to accomplish said dream is to rent motorbikes. We figured that we would ride to the bus station and back (we needed to buy tickets to Surabaya and renting is much [...]
