On the move...

Our life has picked up pace and is moving full steam ahead these days...

Since we last talked, I had an allergic reaction, we watched a man pour HCl into our pool, we had a fight with our landlord, and we are in search of a new house.

Ahh yes it has been an enjoyable couple of weeks...It was a hot Saturday morning and I was casually eating a nature valley granola bar that I always eat at home, not realizing that here they have NUTS!...it was just Heri and I home, Jeff was at work and our cell phones weren't working, so we jumped in the car(actually we have a mini van), Pak told me to put on my seatbelt and we raced around Balikpapan to find a expat clinic that was open, none. So I had my first experience in a third world hospital let me tell you it was something out of 1965

I ran inside and started saying to the doctor I can't breath i'm having an allergic reaction and he's standing there looking at me saying uhuh uhuh uhuh, HE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH!!!
I think at this point I was having a panic attack more then I was having an allergic reaction, pak comes running in and explains it to him in Bahasa and suddenly I get treatment. After 2 hours, pak picking up jeff and countless needles later I went home to sleep and I am thankfully still alive.

We are on the move...after having some trouble with our landlord and no water, no power etc. we have found another house in The Hills Residence, it should be a lot better, its a new compound with young couples and friends of ours both live across the street we are very excited...

Otherwise not much else is new...we are on our way to Bali on Thursday morning for 5 days with some friends so I will have some pictures next week as an update...

Keep in touch...
