Yeah, this post is overdue... been busy... :)
Though my time with the ladies was short, we managed to jam pack it with a number of important sessions and their trust in me was immediate... enough to ask and share personal health issues... questions those women would only share w/another woman their age or older...
The visit to the orphanage was great. Some of the girls and I became fast friends. I was able to see them perform songs with their local instrument (it's like a large xylophone made of bamboo or wood), that was really cool to see and hear! There are many of them living there, but they don't seem to mind. -There's plenty of brothers and sisters and loving caretakers surrounding them.
It was a short but sweet trip! I was able to see a lot of things, not the things tourist would normally see... so the environment was less artificial and more true to the everyday lives of those we met. The streets were dirty, the roads were uneven, the food was great (some times weird, but good!), and the people were nice. I'll have to definitely go back!
Jetlag? Yeah, I'm still feeling it... but at least I can fall asleep at 11pm now. I'm still waking up at 3 or 4 am. though. :/

Almost home...
One night in Singapore, a short layover in Tokyo and then we'll be home! The trip has been short but great!
I was able to visit an orphanage before I left Bali, it was great to meet and hang out with the kids! I had to take a lot of mental pictures cuz my camera was on the fritz because of the humidity... :(
I wish the trip was a little longer... but I'm so ready to go home and get some rest! My body is really hating me right now... not only am I tired, I had an allergic reaction to some food I ate, and I have mosquito bites to recover from as well... -Proof I was traveling!
Can't wait to see you all when I get back!

More Wedding Pix
Look at our tired faces! ;p
I thought that the water was a stack of glasses until I walked close to it. They're like capri suns, but water cups. LOL!

Wedding Crasher
I was Leela's plus one at this Indonesian wedding. It was quite elaborate and oozes of cheese! But it was loads of fun!
