Dave may have led you to believe that we're doing ok, even that we're enjoying Jakarta. However, let me clarify. To begin, Adrian's apartment is the WORST! There are only 5 bathrooms, clearly insufficient for 3 people. Then, this morning, not only did Adrian's helper spread peanut butter on the bread she toasted me unevenly, she woke Dave up by cooking food for our dinner! After breakfast, things really got bad when we had to use the resident's private gym and pool and I had to share the pool with Dave. Then, just when we thought our lives couldn't be more difficult, we found a fully cooked meal in the fridge that WE HAD TO REHEAT!!!! Who knew Indonesia would be so awful? This afternoon we went to the largest mosque in south east Asia and got swarmed by kids who wanted a picture with us (as if we have time to take pictures with strangers). We ate dinner on Adrian's lame balcony which only has a view of downtown Jakarta from 28 stories. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

  1. Boo. I am never going there. Service sounds terrible. Sharing a freakin' pool?! What are we?? Insects!
    Honestly. The stuff they get away with in that part of the world.
