Random Rain

What was the weather like for you today?

I woke up to a black out. It carried on for most of the day. It
randomly rained. And then the power came back on. I guess it's
supposed to be normal. I've heard that the government started having
rolling blackouts to keep the costs down after the rise in gas prices.

I've started to pack up.
1 week with the team here
1 week in Kalimantan
1 week between Bali and Malaysia
Returning to the states
And trying to keep it all within the new airline luggage regulations
is quite a task.

I've been getting compliments on my Indonesian. It seems more
frustrating for others at this point because they are just starting
to understand me now. Plus, I'm feeling comfortable to talk more,
too. But they all know I'm going home in a month. I can understand
most of what they say now - even my friends who talk fast. C;

Maybe my time in the states will let it sink in even more. Hopefully
I'll still be able to use my Indonesian again, especially if I return
in October.
