Our First Visitor Leaves ...

On Monday, Alan's Dad arrived in Jakarta via KL for a couple of meetings with a close contact at a University in Bogor and also at the Australian Embassy. I went out with Pak Bambung (Glencore Driver and my new buddy) to the Airport to pick Les up and it was very funny to see him standing there with all of his luggage in my new but still very foreign country. It was nice to see someone else who sticks out like a sore thumb! Monday night we went to a Lebanese restaurant at the Le Meridian for dinner and the food was absolutely delicious. It will be a favourite of ours I think, now that we have already been there twice. Then on Tuesday night, Les, who enjoys Indonesian food, wanted some so we took him to one of the Indo restaurants in the hotel part of the apartments we live in. Alan and Les said that the food was pretty good, but I was not a fan, at all. Brrrr, GROSS. I did not enjoy mine at all. I kept thinking, "Hope I am going to be ok after this". Anyway, Les is now on his way back to KL where he will have more meetings then off to Dehli for more and where he will surely be sweating as the temperature there is about 40 degress plus!
