We arrived safely in the evening on May 19th in Indonesia! We received a warm welcome from the staff from the guest house, our drivers and University.
Much of our day yesterday, May 20th, was spent orienting ourselves to the area where we are staying. We have found it interesting how "Westernized" the malls are and the presence of English on most packages/items to buy. On our walk yesterday we felt as though out side the guest house and inside the guest house are like two different worlds. Out side the guest house the streets are dirty and bustling with people, cars and motor bikes (lots of them!). Inside the guest house the whole hotel is built around a beautiful tropical garden with palm trees, mango trees and a variety of plants and flowers. Each of our rooms open up to this garden, it is breath taking.
One highlight from our exploration of the area was our lesson on how to cross the roads, stop the cars and run!
We are still getting use to the heat and humidity, as well as, the time difference. Everyone is doing well and is excited for tomorrow, meeting our translators.
