I arrived in Jogyakarta at about 7am this morning, about 20 minutes behind schedule - a reason why I love this country, they are as tardy as me! Jogyakarta in one word: HOT! It's amazing just how warm it is, especially if you compare it against the cold weather we have had in Australia!
I'm really enjoying this country's free wi-fi spots, something that Australia needs to catch up on. I've been to a chocolate cafe and my hotel, both which have been free and not password protected! Very cool.
My only worry at the moment is forgetting to sort out my birth right; the gift to vote. So far, it looks like it might have to be a trip to the Australian Embassy in Jakarta or Bali but I won't have my passport. Declaring an absentee vote is looking mighty fine despite being a conflict of interest.
As promised, I will try to upload one picture a day of my adventures. I spent my first days in Indonesia in my mum's village in Tabanan, Bali. It was great eating a lot of my FAVOURITE Indonesian foods and also seeing my new baby cousin - Tugek Radmilla. So in celebration of her, it seems only fitting that I upload a picture of her, alongside my family :)
Until tomorrow, I'll be able to report news on my first day of Orientation!
Sampai ketemu besok,
Katrina
Gah, photo didn't upload - will deal with it later!
