    Wednesday 22 May mass demonstration ⛔️

    The US and German embassies are known for easily sending out alerts though, at least, when I was in Indonesia you'd see an alert from the US embassy, and then you go ask the Dutch one and they were like eh, use common sense, no need for an alert. Diff'rent strokes, I guess :)

    Well hello there...

    Indonesia's only 6 hours ahead of the rest of the crew, so if I was in Indonesia, I'd just start at 9, by the time 3 in the afternoon rolls around I can do meetings/discussions with people in the office until they go and have lunch. My job lends itself to it though :)

    Well hello there...

    I heard something to that effect, how's Hawaii treating you? My life wasn't riotous, at least, I wouldn't call it that... And of course I'll keep everyone informed, wouldn't just want to show up unannounced and catch everyone unaware >.>

    Well hello there...

    I see many a familiar nick around here so I guess some of you may remember me from the other other place, but in short: I'm now in my 40's, lived in Indonesia from +/- 2007 until 2015, moved back to Europe for a variety of reasons (one of which being that I really wanted to experience that whole...
