So, I haven’t been posting to my blog very much lately. This is partly due to blog fatigue. But it’s also partly because many of the things that happen in my life (which might be interesting to others) have become such a normal part of my everyday existence in Bandung, that it’s hard for me to find the motivation to write about them.
That said, I’m planning to post more regularly during the next 4 weeks. I’ve returned to Seattle/Lynnwood to visit family and friends, and I’ll be posting on my experiences and perceptions of the United States.
We arrived late last night, and today is my first day. I really do feel like a fish out of water. I’ve spent 23 of the last 24 months in Indonesia, so the US really seems like a foreign country to me, perhaps more than last year’s visit. It’s amazing to hear everyone around me speaking English, and correctly at that! I had an “Angry Whopper” from Burger King for lunch today, but oddly I felt happy, not angry, after eating it.
People of the Pacific Northwest, be grateful for your clean and good-smelling air! I cannot get over how great the air smells here. And where is the free wi-fi? It’s easier to find free wi-fi in Bandung than it is in Lynnwood!
More to come on my perceptions of this strange land called the USA…

It seems that free wifi has been dying out in the last couple of years. I don’t get it either, as it doesn’t cost companies much to leave it out there.
