Don’t believe it when they tell you there’s nothing to do in Surabaya. There’s at least four, yes, FOUR things to do in Surabaya with the kids other than the malls. I know, it doesn’t sound like much but at least despite our 2 week-long trip we managed to entertain the boys and I didn’t … Continue reading
We’re back home in Jakarta and all we can say is that we are very grateful for a great week. It was my husband’s birthday on the 19th and we celebrated another wonderful year of his life and thanked God for all his mercies. We are happy to be back home and we have a … Continue reading
If you are in Surabaya for a few days, the Batu Secret Zoo is a must see! Although it’s a good two to three-hour drive from Surabaya you won’t regret making the trip. For only 120,000 rupiah per adult for the zoo and the museum (kids get in free), it’s a steal! This zoo has … Continue reading
We’re halfway thru our trip in Surabaya. So far I can say we’ve had a great time despite the temporary setbacks that having a toddler and an infant in the same room entail. Most of the time I’ve been by myself with the kids as my husband has been working 7-6 every day. Thank God … Continue reading
Busy is an understatement for this week! When we were not getting ready to join daddy in Surabaya we were at Kindyroo, an AWA meeting, school or on a plane. We got to Surabaya on Wednesday night and we’ve had a very busy but fun schedule. We will be here for one more week and … Continue reading
I found this article about the ten places every kid should see in the US. I thought it was very interesting that they don’t only show places to “entertain” kids, but rather to teach them about history and science. I grew up going to Sea World in San Antonio and I would love to take … Continue reading
I recently read this article about traveling with kids: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/barbara-adam/traveling-with-kids-the-t_b_1375419.html. In summary it encourages parents to not keep themselves from traveling because of the kids, but au contraire, to travel with them as the experience will prove to be invaluable and a great learning opportunity. I couldn’t agree more. Although carrying a little one around … Continue reading
Washington, DC is one of my favorite capitals of the world. I always think of DC with fond memories of living there as a single girl and having a blast in DC and its surrounding areas. The DC area offers great activities for everyone and for every budget. Whether you are an adrenaline-junkie and love … Continue reading
Soon after we moved to Jakarta, when my sister was in town (the belle) and I was still very pregnant (the belly) , we decided to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the Big Durian, and embark on a trip to the well-renowned beach resort of Bali. After doing some research, we … Continue reading
We had the opportunity to visit Yogyakarta (Yogya) for a week last summer. We were there taking an intensive one week-long language class and I must say I enjoyed touring the city as much as I enjoyed learning bits and pieces of Bahasa Indonesia and Indonesian Culture. I was about 5 months pregnant at the … Continue reading
