OK, I've actually been in Indonesia for almost a year. But it's been so pandemic-y I haven't felt like I've had a lot to share-and what I DO have to share ends up on social media. Maybe a blog is overkill. But I like words. So here I am! Teaching internationally in Jakarta, Indonesia. I don't want to type an ALL ABOUT TEACHING INTERNATIONALLY IN INDONESIA post, but instead observations, snippets, funny moments, travel, and maybe (occasional) frustrations. Join me! OBSERVATION #1: Dogs in Indonesia Anyone who knows me, knows that Sweet Abby is my constant sidekick (except that one time when we were separated for over 6 months because she couldn't get out of the US). But, due to culture, religion, and just plain old lack of experience, Indonesians are generally wary of dogs. This can range from downright terrified to suspicious to curious to completely friendly. On top of that, the majority of dogs in Jakarta are miniature-sized so a golden retriever is relativel...

Oh, there is sooo much to see in Italy... I don`t know where are you headed (which city) but in Rome, you need to see the Forum Romanum (the very old Rome) and the Victor Emanuel memorial (big, white building like). They are incredible! And of course, the Fontana of Trevi (fountain) and try some Italian pizza! It is the very best for sure! I hope you get to see Venice as well, it is truly beautiful and breathtaking! Florence is also great, so much to see there too! Statue of David, Medici Library and so on... OH, I feel like I am 16 yrs old again!
