I got the chance to meet other relatives of my family that live in other cities. Not that I was too eager to meet some Indonesians that speak no English whatsoever, but I didn’t have much of a choice. So we went to Mojokerto (another relatively small city) to spend the day with the family. Needless to say, it was utterly boring for me. And dammit, I really need to start taking money for posing for pictures! Well ok, not everything was so bad, got the chance to get accustomed to Indonesian traditions, e.g. before leaving the house children (well, including me…) have to ask parents’ permission to leave the house. I managed to do that in Indonesian and felt so damn proud! Hehe. Then the grandpa gave me permission and apologized for his house not being too comfortable. Oh, it just reminded me of some houses in Lithuanian countryside plus the in-house praying room/mosque. Then dear grandpas decided to go to a shopping mall, and guess what, praying time came! That meant that we had to look for a mosque in a mall and I had to wait while the whole family prayed while being stared at by some children. And I thought shopping with my grandma was bad enough!
Ok, I’m done bitching, now I want to show you a bit of the house since I assume you’re all curious where I live.
That’s the living room and you can see the praying room on the left:
And that’s the house:
And I can’t, simply can’t leave out this picture:
Isn’t the little guy cute? Getting ready for the kindergarten! Yes, the uniform is compulsory at Muslim kindergartens. Don’t ask me why it’s pink though.
And this is an example of what we eat. A fish with chili served on banana leaves. I will never ever remember the Indonesian name for it.
And a short news flash, I joined a gym. The gym also includes sauna, Jacuzzi, and a huge swimming pool. Take a look:
Kinda beats Fitness World for a slightly higher price. Swimming in the dark under palm trees and looking at the stars. Seriously, what can be better?
namukas ziauriai fainas! toks stiliukas man lb primena meksikietiskus serialus:)))))))o baseinas ir gymas tiesiog pasaka!
SvarSleto tas vyrukas, kur berniuka ruosia i mokykla, tavo bosas? :)
Noriu ir as i ta baseina paplaukiot nueit :D Siaip cool! Kokios beje kainos ten mazdaug? Zinau, kad pigu, bet kiek maisto produktai kainuoja?

OMG I so much envy you the gym! (by gym I mean sauna, jacuzzi and swimming pool) Seriously, nothing can be better! :)
SvarSletAt first I was suprised by the pink boy's uniform...then I thought... You mentioned they also considered English to be a masculine subject, so it makes a bit sense now :D
Justinai, davai geriau dek kokias negrazesnias foto, o tai po to is sunkiai uzsidirbtu pinigu sumastysiu atlekt vis delto tamstos aplankyt...
SvarSletSamanta-> yup, bosas. o namukas atrodo kaip is serialu nes neighborhood'o nematyt ;D ten zinok ne kazkas aplinkui ;D
SvarSletGedas-> ummm, normalu meal'a kavinej gali pavalgyt uz eura :) lievoj kavinej uz puse ;D kavos, kiti gerimai maziau nei puse euro....
Tereza-> yesss, the gym, is just absolutely amazing! i heard that's the only one in town with hot showers :D real class you know :D about the uniform, i was silently wondering if the girls wear a blue one...
Vik-> tai atlek, galesi mano boyfriendu apsimest, bosas sake kad boyfrienda priimtu :D turiu dvigule lova :D
The house itself looks nice, but the TV inside is so small. The boss does not look like a BOSS at all. More like that private driver you were talking about in previous blog post. And finally pink for boys school uniform??? They are traumatizing the boys from the early childhood, that's bad.
SvarSletGive him some slack. He looks like a boss alright when dressed in a shirt and tie, not a baseball cap :P
