It’s just exciting to have a home,,, a home base,,, an address,,, a place to come back to after trips,,, a place to start discovering Jakarta from,,, a place to leave things- so I’m not packing everything I own & living like a turtle the whole year.

Speaking of everything I own, between Lydia, me and our luggage, we needed two cabs for the ride to southern Jakarta! Brook came along too.

Oh man! It was so exciting walking through the house again! it’s beautiful. Among my favorite features are the high ceilings, the open kitchen, nice furniture, broadband internet (included) is up & running! It’s in a beautiful community (which I think meets 90% of embassy standards) with a great pool across the street. We have a friendly & helpful owner- who is a real-estate developer.
