Shim Ahoy!: April 2013
http://shim-ahoy.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Apr 30, 2013. Throwback post to PST in Batu, June 2012*. One of my clustermate’s families took us on an outing to a local “tourist object” (for some reason, Indonesians are taught that a tourist destination is a “tourist object” in English). This particular object was a waterfall called Coban Rondo. When we tried to find a place to picnic, the local monkey gang wanted in. I’m happy to report our group remained monkey bite free. Throwback post to PST in Batu, May 2012*. During PST, we took a group outing ...

Shim Ahoy!: June 2012
http://shim-ahoy.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Jun 26, 2012. Selamat datang di Ponorogo! These are my new digs:. Yuh It's way more posh than I expected. And way more private (huzzah! Although I don't really have a door to my floor so everyone can hear everything at all times. Anyway, this is how I was welcomed at my school, a public madrasah (Madrasah Aliya Negeri = MAN): A full-blown Reog Parade by students, replete with gifting of ceremonial scarf and belt by my principal. Ponorogo is the epicenter of Reog Culture. The mask weighs over 30 kilograms.

Shim Ahoy!: March 2012
http://shim-ahoy.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Mar 18, 2012. Guess what: We’re in the middle of Lent! Recently, I learned that “lent” in Latin means “dawning of the sun.” This was a revelation - Lent doesn’t have to be dour and grim, laced with joyless deprivation (unless that’s your thing, in which case, git it!

Shim Ahoy!: November 2012
http://shim-ahoy.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Nov 22, 2012. This happened one night during Pre-Service Training in April 2012. There was a traditional performance happening in my village called Kuda Lumping (woven horse). I didn't know anything about it, except that it's Javanese. Up I went, to the pendopo at the top of the hill where we usually had language classes during the day, accompanied by my high school-aged host sister. We found this set up:. Can somebody PLEASE tell me what is happening and WHY? And then, this O.G. in a sarung and ...I sti...

I’m a good electrician, I can cook pretty well, I can sing on key, and I go big. Alright, so maybe that last isn’t really marketable, but my point is that I have developed a bag of tricks, so to speak. I keep adding to the bag as I get older, and now is no exception. I complete my service, but. My wonderful Ib...
