My original intent for this blog was for it to be a place where I actually blogged and posted about anything that I wanted to post, that hasn't really worked so I'm hoping to get into a habit of about one post a week.
As an update, it is now the school holidays and I'm another year older. I went on a trip to Jakarta, Indonesia for two weeks and discovered a lot of new things such as cheap shopping and new cultural practices that I had never even thought about. I became right handed for the duration of the stay because it was polite and I also tried frog legs and some other strange foods that ended up upsetting my stomach for a couple of days.
My mum and I stayed both in the city and the country where I went on a safari and was able to feed animals with carrots through a window. A lhama decided to leave a line of slobber on the glass. There was a lion in the middle of the road there which was interesting to navigate.
In the city I went to a restaurant where we sat in a square pavilion that had a table and floated on a pond full of fish and turtles.The entire time we stayed with friends and family so we didn't have to pay for accommodation so that allowed us to spend our money on other things. I also learned how to make soft toys and try to sell them in a place where I didn't speak the language and there was so many interesting people.
The overall experience was nice and I would definitely do it again in a few years.
