Beautiful trees and plants that Ibu Yuyuan maintains in her front yard. |
Some more beautiful plants in my front yard. |
My counterpart and fellow English teacher, Mr. Jack and I outside of my home! He always puts his thumb up against his pointer finger to illustrate our height difference haha. |
Chairs for chillin' on the porch. I can't sit here if I'm feeling unsocial because if I am spotted by one of the neighborhood kids, they all come running over! |
My beautiful bedroom and huge bed. I am spoiled. My room is the only one with an A/C unit. |
The family room. There is a poster in the background with all the world's currency that Bu Yuyun's sister made. |
The living room/ entrance room. That green couch has been destroyed by kitty paws. |
The dining room. That green basket is used to cover the food when no one is eating. |
Some of Ibu yuyun's many cats chillin' hard in the kitchen. |
This is my bathroom. Western toilet with a shower head next to the water tub. It's only setting is freezing cold and I love it. |
One of Ibu Yuyun's cats had kitten! They are currently living under the sink |
Close-up of the kittens. Their eyes are always shut and they just fumble around and cuddle with each other. |
My friends invited me to play futsal with them on Friday night. It was tons of fun. Sometimes I forget how much taller I am than everyone else until I see pictures haha |
I thought this was a pretty sweet picture that I took during our futsal match |
Went to see Insidious 2 for the second time with one of my English classes at a nice theatre in the mall. Chances are I'll be seeing it again soon. |
Indonesians have a natural tendency to feel responsible for each other, especially in situations like a homestay. In fact, because my school is providing the homestay for me, myself and my actions are a responsibility of the school. Therefore, I must consider that my actions are not only a reflection of myself, but of my Ibu Yuyun, my headmaster Pa Budi, and my school. I continue to see how deeply the people within the community are intertwined and I think that it is a beautiful thing.
