Indoprism: Home sweet home
http://indoprism.blogspot.com/2011/06/home-sweet-home.html
One foreigner's perspective of life in Indonesia. Sunday, June 5, 2011. J and I bought a house last month! We are now two weeks away from officially owning a home again, this time in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. And I am definitely worried about cleaning this large house! But it is beautiful, and we will have plenty of space to live in for many, many years to come. The next two weeks will be absolutely insane! But at the end of it we will be back in the US and own a lovely new home! Cant wait to see!

Indoprism: Strolling through
http://indoprism.blogspot.com/2011/07/strolling-through.html
One foreigner's perspective of life in Indonesia. Friday, July 15, 2011. We've been in my hometown almost a week now. The weather has been gorgeous - so much nicer than way-too-hot-and-humid North Carolina or pollution-hazed Jakarta. Just lovely. And the evenings have been long and summery and fragrant. And for that I am so grateful. I am so grateful for it all. I think my little girl self would be very happy with the dreams her adult self has been able to realize. July 30, 2013 at 4:56 PM.

Indoprism: March 2009
http://indoprism.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
One foreigner's perspective of life in Indonesia. Monday, March 23, 2009. Spa-ing, Jakarta style. In Jakarta prices are more, but not a whole lot more! I know of a business that will send a masseuse to your house for the bargain price of $8 for 1 hour. I have a friend who regularly uses this service - why I haven't yet is beyond me! Overlooking a beautiful garden. It is amazingly ridiculous, and feels so wonderfully indulgent! And it only costs about $10! This concept is an import originally from Turkey,...

Indoprism: A foodie I'm not, but just the same
http://indoprism.blogspot.com/2011/03/foodie-im-not-but-just-same.html
One foreigner's perspective of life in Indonesia. Monday, March 28, 2011. A foodie I'm not, but just the same. Here is a post that I started last year, and just now finished. If you're feeling adventurous in the kitchen, here are some good recipes to try! Regional dishes also differ on the amount and kind of chiles they use. In general Indonesians like some heat in their dishes (they also love sweet and fried foods), but the Manadonese are known for their extremely spicey dishes. I am sorry to sa...Or mi...

Indoprism: April 2009
http://indoprism.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
One foreigner's perspective of life in Indonesia. Friday, April 24, 2009. According to some, Jakarta sucks. So, evidently my family and I live in the 2nd worst expat city in the world. This is not counting high conflict cities such as Baghdad, but according to this report. The only worse city to live in as an expat than ours is Lagos. And while I've never been to Lagos, my impression is that there would have to be a big jump from Lagos to Jakarta. All of this leads me to wonder. All in all I think they g...

Indoprism: Transitions
http://indoprism.blogspot.com/2011/07/transitions.html
One foreigner's perspective of life in Indonesia. Friday, July 1, 2011. Are tough. Plain and simple, tough. Even when they're exciting, even when they're adventurous, even when they're joyful, they are also challenging, stressful, new, scary. And as much as you may be prepared for them, mentally and emotionally, there are still some rough waters as you swim to the other side. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Indoprism: February 2009
http://indoprism.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
One foreigner's perspective of life in Indonesia. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Our little Balinese dancer. We went to in Bali, to Nusa Dua (it's on the southeast corner). We wanted quiet, beauty, clean clear beaches, and an easy place to take the kids. Nusa Dua Beach Hotel was the perfect place. We spent our last morning in Bali in the pool. J stayed in the room to pack and I took the boys to the pool. All I have to say is thank god for floaties! Update: For the last 2 weeks (since I wrote this post) I ha...

Indoprism: November 2009
http://indoprism.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
One foreigner's perspective of life in Indonesia. Thursday, November 19, 2009. The Liquid of the Gods. This year I finally got around to joining the Indonesia Heritage Society. Two weeks ago we went to the home of an Indian woman who has lived in Jakarta for 20 years. She owns a very good Indian restaurant nearby and loves to cook. She taught the group about different spices used in Indonesia and taught us 3 different Indonesian recipes (see a future post for more details). 4) It is bottled at the source.
