Bukittingi!
So my host family took ut to bukitingi today for something to do, low and behold internet cafe so i figured i would update. I went to the Minag Palace yesterday, it was really cool. look it up on google, there should be some images of it, we got to go up to the top of the palace, crazy dosent even justify the coolness of it.
I also got some fabrics to make some clothing, first some pants and a scarf to mach (indonesian style) and then andy and i are trying to get some kimonos made, black outer with a white inner. Should be good.
I'm running out of money :( but i am getting 300,000 for febuary and 150,000 for March, I should survive, it's not like I need money for food or room so i'm not terribly concerned, however it means i cant buy so much clothing. oh well.
The plan is so far to get a big duffel bag to bring all the bulky stuff home, that includes puppets, unclung and the cranes (that actualy compact well, they took less than 150 sheets to make).
Things I miss from Canada (in no order):
Fast Internet
Ottawa life
Having a Job (money)
Friends and family
No wild dogs or chikens in the streets
Being able to drive (we're not allowed)
Chereoes, corn flakes, corn pops, lucky charms, and other ceareals.
snow
There are more but i cant remeber them all.
40 days till i leave gurun, 49 till i'm back.

oh man, good luck making pants. I tried once and I failed spectacularily. I'm begining to wonder how you're going to get all the weapons you bought back into the country because I'm pretty sure they'll want to confiscate at least some of the stuff you got.
49 days seems like such a short time considering I haven't seen you since August. That means you'll be back about mid March right? That's not too long. I'm glad you'll be back soon because I miss you. I hope the rest of your time is a blast and I'll eat a bowl of fruit loops for you before class tomorrow :)
Hi JosH! salam kenal dari saya,Deborah Napitupulu. I was a participant in 79-80 and a groupleader in 85-86. It was long time ago, right? I'd like to inform you that we're going to celebrate the 35th Indonesia-Canada World Youth exchange programme, in next October. Maybe you've known about this programme. Please do inform your friends from the same year. Thank you....
