Bowling

I went bowling with some of my students the other night. Karaoke was the planned event, but it's so popular here that the wait was too long. We decided that bowling might be better, so since the place was near my house, I swung by my house and picked up enough socks for everyone and we hit the alleys. I won that night with the high score of 121...which is really quite good for me! But I was playing a bunch of Indonesians who have all only bowled about a handful of times in their lives, so I can't really brag.

Durian Day

I decided to join the bandwagon and be the expatriate that makes a blog to update friends and family back home. I wanted an outlet for random/fun thoughts, photos and experiences. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for keeping up with my journey!



So, yesterday I finally tried the infamous fruit...Durian! For those who have never heard of this unique and spikey looking fruit, it has quite a strong smell and you either love it or hate it, I'm told. I actually will probably eventually love it...I enjoyed trying it! The legend goes that it takes 3 times trying it before you love it. But I definitely wasn't repulsed, the only annoying thing was the flies buzzing all around us as we were eating. I asked 2 of my local friends to go with me down the street to help me choose one. It was a memorable experience! I reccommend that anyone travleing in Southeast Asia should give Durian a fair chance!
