So....I probably should have written sooner, but I have had little to no spare time and when I did, I was crashing face first into my bed since I am still adjusting to the jetlag!!!!!!!! This week has been great!!!!!!! Everything is sooooo new and I have had so many new experiences this past week. I went to the imigration office this week to get my resident permit which was quite funny....I went in with my driver...no one spoke English except him and he had me sit to wait...I was sitting and sitting with all of the gossip flying in the room with stares....I can only imagine what people were thinking! It was soooo chaotic and it did not appear to have any order, but apparently there was. I sat for about 1 hour waiting alone....finally a guy approached me with a picture I had sent from the US and he said "Bu Jamie" which when pronounced sounds like "Boo"....it made me giggle....anyways it just is like Miss in English....I followed him to a room where they were processing docs inside....opened the door and I walked in and a guy looked at me, smiled and said "WOW!!!!!!!!!!! It is a real American girl...mmmmmmm". It was a nice compliment, but really funny...I could only say thank you and go on.
I went to a university that is about 2 hours away....it was in the countryside, so it was nice to see the landscape outside of the city!!!!!!!! Very pretty......The team here is very nice and welcoming!! My experience so far is AMAZING!!!!!!! I really love it and can't wait to experience more!
This week I will go to Yogyakarta which is in central Java for a day trip (short flight) and then I will go to Bangkok for the weekend as I will work there next Mon & Tues. Can't wait!!!!!! Soooo many new adventures....I just don't know what to do with myself....the camera has been taken out and charged, so there will soon be some photos on facebook.....I will go for a walk tomorrow to capture my neighborhood!
