Ruby the Motorbike

I got a new motorbike this past week so that I can actually go places on the motorbike. Not that my old one was not cutting it but, she was just not cutting it. In order to break Ruby in I decided that it would be a good idea to drive her to Lippo Karawaci. It took us 5 hours to get there. There was lots of traffic and we had to stop a couple of times to take off and on rain gear and to stop and ask for directions. That is a long time. It was a lot of fun though. On our way back from Lippo we drove into church, and then went home. In under a week I have gone around 160 miles on the bike. That is like going from Grand Rapids to Trinity to put it into perspective. Here are some pictures of the bike.

I have not gone on strike

I am so sorry that I have not let you known what is going on in my life. I know that you all check everyday to see what is new in Indonesia. Well, since I have last posted I went to the states for Christmas Holiday. I have come back to Indonesia, and started the 2nd semester of school. I got 1 new student which brings me to a full class of 11. I know hold onto your hats. I have also driven into Jakarta, and Cibubor on a motorbike. I was going to go hang gliding but it was too rainy and foggy so I could not, but it is still something that I will do. We also went to a janky ropes course to see the mountains, and I sat in the letter 'S' and watched the sunset. Today I went to the fresh market to buy my groceries I went swimming and then sat by the pool for a little while just to touch up on my brown color. I have to keep that up don't you know. This week I am getting a new motorbike and going to a 70's party. That is kind of about it. I have been staying plenty busy with school and having fun.New Years Resolution- To have more fun.
