Today I went to lunch with Becky. She is the kindergarten teacher from Colorado and my "big sister." We went to this pizza place near Ciwalk. She had me try a banana blackberry pizza. It was actually really good. Tasted kind of like dessert, but it might just be my new favorite flavor!
After lunch Emma and I were feeling adventurous and in need of some relaxation so we decided to go all by ourselves to SetiaBudhi (the international grocery store/shopping complex) to get coffee, a Cream Bath and a pedicure. A cream bath is this deep conditioning hair treatment thing that includes a shoulder massage. Unfortunately, I am not a huge fan of massages, I tend to be a bit ticklish (Alli can attest to that:)). Every time I flinched it made the lady laugh. The cream bath and pedicure were exactly what we needed before this intense week of orientation begins. We hailed a taxi all by ourselves and made it back to Complex Lipi (the name of our neighborhood). I was so proud of our successful trip:)
All the old teachers are back, and this week is full of fun meetings about policy, curriculum and year long plans. Fortunately, Charity and I have our room almost all the way set up, which means we get to work on lesson plans! I get to start off with a geography unit on the Lakes of the World which includes a field trip to a lake near Bandung!

o my gosh, I LOVE massages. People like you are wierd with your ticklishness. Good luck with your lesson plan creating, and congrats on the the successful cab-hailing! Once in Buenos Aires I unwittingly allowed Chuck, Mom, and myself to get fleeced by a taxi driver because I was too tired to say anything when I noticed his meter was off the entire trip. He proceeded to charge us more than double the usual amount and we had no means by which to fight him on it, so we paid. Not a big deal in pesos, but humiliating nonetheless.
Molly Evans - you got pampered in a foreign country, I'm so jealous! I sent you an e-mail last night. I now have working internet so I will be checking the blog regularly. Still keep me updated via e-mail though when possible. I guess you're enduring your orientation this week (actually, you're probably there, or heading there as I type). Have fun, Molly! God is with You, as I can tell since you slept through your first earthquake. Good luck w/ the Cockroaches too, you're a better woman than me =)
