My Life as an Expat: The Batu Caves
http://amberslifeinjakarta.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-batu-caves.html
My Life as an Expat. Noun 1. expat [ɛksˈpæt] - a person who is voluntarily absent from home or country. Saturday, May 10, 2014. Okay, this place was a MUST-SEE! Plus, it was the cheapest place we visited the entire time we were there! Ryan and I are really into history and very open-minded so it was a wonderful experience to visit such an important temple to Hindus. To get to the Batu Caves, we had to take Malaysia's equivalence of the subway. We grabbed some Roti boys (of course) and were on our way.

Every August, Indonesia has about two weeks off in celebration of Ramadan, a Muslim holiday. The whole country basically goes on vacation! I love it. I will definitely miss it next year when I am back home but the summer break in June and July will make up for it. So it was nice to be able to go off and do my own thing. Jakarta is ...

I briskly walked ...

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life.

Thank you to Mandie, Matty, and Whitney for putting this together last minute!

In this video I also filmed part of the view of the city. I hope it's clear enough for you guys to see but you should at least be able to hear the man singing. This is a video of the kampung or the little poverty stricken villages that you see all over Jakarta. I filmed this on the bus ride home from school. So Elaine, the trend continues :).
