JAKARTA

I am really enjoying my time here and have already decided i will have to return inthe future. On Christmas day i went to the Sea World Indonesia. Almira has an inside link there so we were able to go scuba diving in the aqarium. This is something i said i would never do but after i caught the turtle who was the same size as me and let him pull me around i was cinvinced it was a good idea. I also was surprised by how friendly the sting ray are. Like cats. They rub against you and catch you off guard. One boy in our group was teasing a sting ray wih a fish instead of leting him eat it and he got bit in the head. No big deal. He is fine

We went to many museums and Almira has taken me all ariund Jakarta. Yesterday we entto an Indonesian Muslim wedding. T was beautifil. We went to the largest Mosk in Indonesia but somehow they figured out i wasnt Muslim and i was not allowed inside.

I have a really bad cil and have been loosing my voice. Lasb niht we went to a birthday party where they rented a room and we all sang kareoke. There are 3 microphones so you are never singing alone and since yoh rent a room ypu are only singing in front of your friends. We arrive home about 2am and got up at 5am. We are waiting at the train station where we will take a train to Jogja for 3 nights. After not geting enouh rest and screaming rock songs at the top of my lungsfor 3 hours i no longer hae a voice. This is very inconvient as English is not their first language and now they have to try and interpre my pathetic gasps of words i may be able to produce if any words at all. However Almira doesnt seem to mind.

Anyway i hope to post pictures soon. It has been crazy busy as Almira has every moment planned out.
