Biker Babe

I am now a motor-bike-riding resident of this fine country. My friend, Selvie has been teaching me how to ride motor-bike over the last month. We're going out for our 5th and final lesson tonight, so I can practice night driving. I was so excited, yesterday because I drove from one of the malls to our english center which is a good 15 minute ride! This was a big accomplishment for me, because we had just been practicing on mainly backroads and less-crowded streets. The challenge of driving in Indonesia of course is the lack of lanes, order or structure. But it's been an adventure to learn and hopefully I will do well and not have a wreck or fall, etc. (early on at least). I am slowly learning the method to this madness!

note: this picture was taken several months ago on a friend's motor-bike, I"ll post some pics of me on mine later. Ohh, she'll need a name, so leave any name suggestions for the new bike under "comments." haha...thanks!
