Hello All!
Just a quick update until a more awesome one about the best night dive EVER with my boss from Jakarta and two draft editorials, one on West Sumatran weddings and the other on driving in Indonesia (suspense?).
Yesterday was my last day in the Mercy Corps office. It was so sad. I am really going to miss all of the P3DM team (Popo, David, Yudi, Jupe, Tasrif, Indra, and of course Bu Endang). We took banyak final photos (banyak=many)after a day full of running errands at the Trade and Industry Department for West Sumatra Province and doing a final results presentation on the Private Sector Survey Project to the staff. Malka, the Program Manager, also conducted trainings for the staff on Monitoring and Evaluation as well as Logistical Framework Analysis.
My flight out of Padang was supposed to be at 6:55PM today but was delayed until 11:00PM tonight. Of course a swell came in today but I was so busy packing and hanging out with the family for the last day that I was only able to go watch surfers for five minutes. Why me?? It looked perfect!
I am bringing my surfboard back and I hope its worth the expense. I was only able to surf five times while here but the board is really perfect for me and I think it's the ultimate souvenir. I hope I made the right decision.
Anyway please wish me luck for my flight (Selamat Jalan-Jalan is the appropriate phrase to use when sending me good thoughts). I will arrive in Jakarta pretty late and probably get to the non-international hotel around 2AM. Grrrr.
I will write soon from comfy accommodations of the Grand Flora Hotel in South Jakarta with an actual shower and air conditioning, yay!
Cheers, A very sad and also excited Kasey (less than two weeks and I will be home!)
