Happy Candy Harvest Day

So, the frosties were kosong (empty) but we drank some ice lemon teas and cokes and played mow for an hour or so while the Wendy's staff set up for what seemed to be a thrilling Halloween party. I'm still not sure what the "Blinkz" is supposed to mean. Josh also got to take a turn with pin the mouth on the pumpkin at our Pumpkin Party. No, there was no candy corn around or trunk or treating, but we still had fun!

Open Mic Night

EEC hosted an Open Mic night where one of our teachers performed a lot of original music and we opened up the mic for anyone else to sing. Lindsey and I sang a rocking Taylor Swift's "Our Song," much to the crowds pleasure, and after some coaxing, several female students sang a few songs in English. "More than Words"and "Leaving on a Jet Plane" were among favorites. We probably had 70 people come and I tell you, it was HOTT in there! We went through probably 36 cups of coffee, 4 plates of brownies, 1 cake, and 2 giant bowls of popcorn very quickly! It was a lot of fun. We wish you could have been there :(

Fantasy Futsal

Josh plays futsal (like indoor soccer) here every Tuesday morning. He's scored 2 goals last game.... the mvp on his team, I'm sure! hehe

Uniquely Indonesia!

Almost every day we come across something that we just don't remem

ber seeing in the States. We'd like to share some of these things with you from time to time.

Indonesia's KFC Colonel and Dollar General. Don't tell me you wouldn't eat this guys' chicken on a stick!

This bowl of popcorn was served as an appetizer. They called it "welcome corn"

And the truck.... well, it speaks for itself.

Josh's "man trip"

Tonight's menu: goat

We were invited to our friend's house to celebrate idul fitri with he and his family. We ate sate gambing (goat on a stick) and bakso (meatballs). Too bad Josh forgot to wear his sarung!

The big 25!

What do you do on your birthday? Why eat Italian food at the nicest place in the city of course! Haha! We had a great time getting dressed up and eating at Portofino's, located in the fancy hotel.

The other picture is when some friends came over for ice cream to celebrate. We had a great time. They taught me a traditional dance although for some reason it looks like I'm the only once dancing in the picture..... go figure.
