I wrote my last blog less than 1 week ago and it seems today like it was written 4 weeks ago. This week has seemed so long, partly I think due to going to Bangka at the weekend. That was a really great holiday and was very relaxing but as I had my flight at 6am and I had to leave for the airport (or so I thought) at 4am I decided to go out and not sleep. I ended up taking 6 Extra Joss, which are energy drink sachets that you add to a glass of water, the packet recommends no more than 4 in a 24hr period and I had 6 in 6hrs! Still it kept me awake, I did of course water it down throughout the night by drinking plenty of beer!
A piece of advice for anyone coming to Jakarta and who is going somewhere on an early flight, Don’t leave too early if you don’t want to wait long at the airport…I left at 4am and by 4:35am I was at the airport, checked in, been to the toilet and waiting in the departure lounge. The roads are so quiet and the airport so efficient!
This as most of you know is my last week at EF Gading Serpong, Indonesia which makes this my final blog from Indonesia. It has been an interesting time here and I have met some wonderful people. All the teachers I have met here have been fantastic both in and out of work and I have many memories of being here. If anyone who is coming to Indonesia has any questions please still ask.
I am currently writing an information guide for Indonesia that will include information regarding what to check before coming and some other useful information to make your time here the best it can be. Look out for my link to it on the Chalkboard in my next few blogs.
In a few days time or Monday to be exact I will be in Hong Kong, So far I have no clue as to where I will be staying but I have heard it is easiest to find a cheap place to stay once you arrive, I am hoping that is true but if anyone has any tips of good/safe/cheap places to stay then please get in touch!
I may or may not be able to write a blog next week as I will be holidaying in Hong Kong but I will try and do my best to get a short one up to keep you all updated as to the goings on.
So it is with mixed emotion I write farewell from Indonesia as I take the next step on my adventure, I say goodbye to the new friends I have met.
From Indonesia I bid you farewell!

Alix: Hmm I've tried a Vodka+Red Bull, Maybe I should try it with this stuff...It seems much stronger than RB that's for sure!
Honor: I will definitely head over to Stanley Market! I need to buy new stuff for China and I love markets...Picking up all those little bargains and negotiating with sellers! It's a whole lotta fun!!!
Have you tried energy drinks with vodka? Loads of fun....
Make sure you head to Stanley Market while you're in Hong Kong - it's pretty cool for shopping!
Glad Bangka was good and enjoy your last few days in Indonesia - make sure you keep us updated with how you get on in HK and in China!
