I haven't thought about that Whitesnake song in ages, but it has been in my head since I left LA a little over a week ago :)
Hello!
I am currently in Jakarta, Indonesia. So far, I've eaten a lot of seafood and attended another Indonesian wedding. I planned to stay here about two months shadowing a pharmacist in my uncle's hospital, but it looks like I might do a lot more relaxing than shadowing. I'm definitely okay with that :)
I was home for a little less than two months and it was pretty amazing! I spent most of my time in super cold-but surprisingly not very rainy-Seattle, loving it of course. The rest of the time, I was in Diamond Bar with Mom. (I loved it there too :P) I did make one trip to the Bay Area and it was one of the best weekends I could have had. I hadn't realized how much I missed my life there; it also felt really good to be among friends again and people who really knew me. I was pretty sad when I left for Singapore... to have to face the hassles of traveling again... to be without my family and friends again... to have to eat a lot of crackers since I spent way too much on Travel Part I, etc.
But here I am, with Travel Part II well under way! I still have some of Israel, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates to catch you all up on - I'm working on it!
For now, greetings from Indonesia! To those of you I got to see when I came home and those of you that I unfortunately missed, thank you so much for keeping up with the blog. I got excited thinking about traveling again only after talking to some of you! Please feel free to hit "Reply" when the update comes - I will be very happy to hear from you.
