Saturday was spent on the sea! A little over one hour outside Jakarta this island can be found. The water was so blue and nice!
We were playing with jetski's and went swimming. The water was really salt though so my eyes hurt as fluff...
Doctor
I got the flu after we came from Bali. I had this terrible pressure in my face so I went to the doctor.
The first "doctor" thought it was just the sun cuz I was a little red in my face, but I said no it's not the sun. Then he called for another doctor that said it was my sinuses and I had an infection. They had to take xrays to be sure so after pictures and stuff I got medicine and got to go home.
So this is how I look "nude"! Hah
Oh and this is how they give you medicine in Indonesia! Not really like in Finland...
BALI
Bali was amazing! So sad that we only had 3 days there.. Maybe I have time to go again! We were staying at a super nice hotel with a pool right outside our bedroom door.
We arrived quite late on wednesday so we went staright to the nigthclub to dance a bit (:
On Thursday we spolied ourselves a bit with massage and having our nails done. I think it was 30€ for an hour massage and an hour manicure, and this was a more expensive place! Definitely gonna have some more massage!
On Friday we then went to do some watersports. First we tried the banana boat, so much fun! Then we went for parasailing, and the view was great! And last we went snorkeling, which was amazing! I think I saw the whole cast of Finding Nemo there! I also got to try a little diving and went 10 metres down, where I found a really cool starfish with black spikes on it!
On Saturday, our last day, went to some local stores to buy some souvenirs to take home. We also visited this really cool 3D museum!
Lovely time in Bali with two lovely girls from work! See you again sometime Bali! The beach outside our hotel!
Getaway
Me and two girls from my workplace are going to Bali for a couple of days now so see you next week!! :D
Events
This weekend I attended my first events here! Early on Saturday morning we started driving towards Bandung! The event was organized by the Porshe club in Indonesia, so 5 porshes drove in 180km/h from Jakarta, thought I was gonna die.. but the traffic started so then we had to slow down thank god! A bit outside Bandung we also met up with other cars!
When we arrived at Bandung we had breakfast and after that we went to the Porshe Club, the owner of the club owned 300 cars!!! Not only Porshe but a lot of other nice cars too! After this we went back to Jakarta.
On Sunday we went for an event in a Mall were some cars were showcased. Two of our Ferraris and one Lamborghini was there! And a lot of other nice cars!
And even I got to be on photo with some cars! A guy even asked me if I wanted to come and be a model for him! haha
First Week
First week in Jakarta is soon over. Though we have an event in the weekend so working also then. Have had all kinds of food this week, Indonesian, Chinese, Western and Japanese. They have a lot of restaurants here were you can eat as much as you want and you can cook at the table. This is a chinese restaurant were you cook the ingredients you want.
This week I have also sang some karaoke, who knew asians loves to sing karaoke! ;) They even have private rooms for karaoke!
Later I will show you were I live. You have already seen the view from the apartment so I will show you some pics of the house and insides. Laters!
Day 1-2
First day at work yesterday. I started at 10 and not long after we went for lunch. Another traditional Indonesian restaurant. The food is quite spicy here so be careful what you eat so it's not too spicy.
Afterwards we went for a meeting for a upcoming event in the weekend. The traffic is really crazy here so it takes quite a while to get to and from places. I think I got home at 9 or 10 last night.
Today the lunch was Hawaiian and not spicy at all! Very nice!
After lunch we went for another meeting at the mall where the event is gonna take place. Took over an hour to get to the other side of Jakarta.. After the meeting we stayed at the mall to look around because we wanted to wait for the traffic to settle a little. It is most traffic between 5 and 8, afterwork hours!
This is were we are gonna have some Ferraris for show this weekend, along with other companies cars.
Indonesia
It has been a busy couple of days now! On Thursday I left Vaasa heading towards Jakarta. It was a long flight with a few connecting flights. I arrived to Jakarta at midnight Finnish time, which means 4am Indonesian time. Before I had the key to my apartment and went to bed it was 6.30. Only to wake up at 10 again to go visit the company where I will be working.
I met some really nice people on the first day and we went for some traditional indonesian lunch/food. All food are quite spicy here but so far so good!
After the lunch I went with two girls from the office to a shopping mall in Central Jakarta. I could easily get lost there! I don't know if it was 8 or 9 floors, it was HUGE! We went shopping for some stuff for my apartment and other stuff!
We came home at 11 in the evening and I was so tired so I slept til 10 in the morning!
My morning view from the 31st floor!
Sunday was spent first at the shopping mall at my apartment. I basically live on top of a shopping mall so when I'm bored you will know where to find me! After lunch me and M went to a shopping mall in West Jakarta, the Central Park. I joined her for church just to see how different it was. First of all the "church" was in the mall, then there was a band playing, people singing and a pastor preaching! They asked me where I was from and the guy talking thanked me for joining from Finland. It was quite fun, except for not understanding when they were speaking indonesian.
After this we went to shop a little more and to have dinner. Penne Bolognese, thank god for some western food in Indonesia! When I came home I wanted to watch a movie but surprise surprise the internet in this country is not the best so no movies for 3 months... ^^ I guess I have a lot of time to do my thesis now!
