   SX018 the countdown begins

   It's the final countdown.... dah-dah, dah dah. I am being a little premature here, but I feel like my time in Indonesia is almost up. :-( Aw, sadseez. Is it totally evil of me to deliberately wait to collect my final scholarship money; just to make sure that my University does not pocket it?…

   Pinch and a Punch for the First of the Month! Today is 1 March 2011. Walk with me as I go to buy some 'pulsa' for my Mobile phone. Enjoy the dulcit tones of the mosque too! As I wonder the streets I realise that I really need some food - which is tricky to find in the back blocks. House &…

   SX016 Prepared for Semester 2

   Am I prepared for another semester of teaching? It really is a TON of work! Hats off to all teachers out there. Indonesian Uni students are SO sweet, friendly and innocent. That sure makes work a lot easier than rat-bag Westerners would be. I try to rev-up the girls to ignore [Muslim] cutlure…

   SX015 semester 2 begins at UMM

   Semester 2 starts tomorrow (cause Indonesia is on the crazy Northern-hemisphere timetable), so I am off to Coffee Time to prepare for English Seaking 2 classes. blah It really is off-putting to have the REAL year disected by a fake academic year, like in USA & EU. Semester 2 is starting, at the...

   SX010 Student Day at UMM

   Enhanced podcast*- Today is "student day", so join me and 5,000 students as we march around the kampung (suburb)! It was quite a spectacle, and also very HOT. Glad we started around 7am.

    SX009 flu drugs & teaching

    I have become a junkie now. Life in Indonesia has pushed me over the edge - to hard drugs! Luckily here, you can just pop into the Apotik (chemist) and ask for whatever drugs you want. HELLO! I also fill you in briefly on my new job, teaching English Speaking 1! Sorry for my waffle, I hope you…

    SX008 I'm starvin' Marvin!

    I only have 2 topics in this show, and 1 of them involves me almost starving to death! Yes, I came close to going without any supper tonight (7 Oct), and you can imagine how that made me feel. :-( I also share with the entire world, one of my student's very personal "secrets"! It was way more...

    SX007 I'm a dozin' Dosen

    Today I wax lyrical about my first few days teaching 'English Speaking 1' to all the young Indonesian students. Most of them are either like giddy school-girls, or extremely shy. And it wouldn't be "Indonesia" if I couldn't also tell you about the continuing chaos of my bahasa Indonesia program -...

    SX006 our lady Maria, LIVE in Malang

    I'm singing and dancing on a prayer this weekend, after going to 1 of the big Roman Catholic Churches near the centre of Malang city. OK, well, that's not the reason why actually - but it is part of what I talk about today. Other than Catholocism, I talk about Indonesia's obsession with Agama...

    SX005 moody in Malang

    Everyday life in moody Malang. OK, so not moody itself, but I am moody at the moment. I run through my day and my current thoughts on learning Indonesian at UMM... or not. The clouds are brewing over France right now, as 2 of the French girls look set to do what their government did a few years...

    SX003 Bieber is here!

    This is an update of my first week or so in Malang. Well, the last few days especially, as I sort out my accomodation and go to (not) my first class at Uni. My major issue is the lack of fast internet (or access), and how that is making podcasting rather difficult. Please bare with me kids. I…

    SX002 Batu with Will

    Will and I took an Angkot (public transport mini-bus) from my Uni campus up to Batu (further up the hill). The very cute driver was chatting away to me as we drove up the mountain, but of course I could not understand him. :-( I did manage to understand that he was trying to tell me all the good...
