A Week In...

Thank you for all those following my blog. I have a few things to talk about in this update. But first I have not only managed to get a photo of the cute baby girl in my Host Family - CHA CHA, but an awesome video!!!

SO CUTE!!!!

This week I have been attending schools and showing them comparisons between Australia's environmental conditions and Indonesia's. Basically our message within schools is Global Impact. We're trying to make them start thinking on a global level, so when they burn they're trash or another km of rainforest is cut down for money they will understand it is affecting not only Indonesia's environment but other countries to. And to fix the current problem of global warming and the unpridictable weather only a global community working together to make a positive impact will in the end make a change. And to prove this point even further, Western Australia now has flooding in Canarvon, and Bandung, Indonesia is in their wet season and it hasn't really rained at all. But when it does it's short and heavy and causes land slides due to the soil being made out of clay and absorbing all the water.

80 People at the Welcome Event - A Bit Squishy =)

I also had my AIESEC Bandung Welcome Party, all there current interns attended. Turns out, I'm not the only tall Bule here. There is a New Zealander here exactly the same height and stuff, but she has straight hair. I'll post a few pictures of the event. It was really interesting to see the culture of the LC. LC bandung has over 200 members, they are a Local Committee Based on a City instead of a University. I continue to take notes of the Local Committee. I talked to Laode and my coaching of their X+L (exchange plus leadership) team is still to be organised. They will be contributing 50% of their reserve money into the team to boost X+L. I think coaching this team can really benefit me in my coaching skills so I am eager to start.

My Hair here as been HORRIBLE! I should shave it off, like Leo did. Nah I am only joking - I love my hair, it's only just going through a rough patch. If I get the front all looking nice the back is all APHRO >< If I get the shape all good, I have little bits of hair sticking up making it look all APHRO >< In the end I give up and let it go all WILD. Here are some photos at my attempt to style my hair in Indonesia : P

This week I also rode on the back of a motorbike. I was sitting in Mac Donald's waiting for my lift when an AIESEC-er rocks up with a motor bike (a very small and skinny motor bike) I'm like will that even go with me on that. It was REALLY scary and i had a death grip on his shoulder the entire time. I think I went three shades whiter. But none the less it was really fun!

Anyways, stay tuned for my next blog. It will be based on the Indonesia VS. Philippines Semi Final AFF Soccer match I went to the other day. You can see a lot of the pictures on my Face Book. This afternoon I have a meeting with my NGO about more school Presentations, so I will also be talking about that as well.

Love You All!!!
