Picture Perfect, or something...

Here are a few random snapshots taken at the weekend; some funny, one just random, and one that's decidedly not funny...
"Take the transversed path; the road less travelled." 
Is it just me, or is there something not quite right about this sentence?

 
"I found me Enjoya!"
Well done you! ;)
Sounds a bit Bristolian, innit me luverr.

 Mwah.

Here's the decidedly not funny one:
 "Watch Out! The dangers of homosexuals spying on our children."
There's a relatively large gay community in Batam, but as far as I can tell, they live their lives in the shadows, as the majority of locals are genuinely scared and unaccepting of homosexuality. :(

 I came across a shop selling plus-sized clothing. It's called Huge's. 
Hadi tried to tell me that the designer's name is Huge, but I'm not convinced...

And finally, the cute baby-grow for Daddy's girl! :)

Time to go!

Isn't it always the way, that the times really worthy of being recorded, written about or reflected upon, are the times when it's really hard to find the time?

It is a confusing state I find myself in, feeling so sad to be going so far away from home, yet still wanting to do it, needing to in fact. Tomorrow I travel to see a dear friend (I'd say that even if she wasn't driving me to the airport) and her far too adorable son. On wednesday I fly, by thursday afternoon I'll be in Singapore, and on saturday I will arrive in Batam. Let the traveling commence!

free to go

A few months ago I was longing to leave Germany. Although that desire clearly had something to do with ending an eight-year relationship, it also had a lot to do with the weather! I was just daydreaming of beaches, picturing myself backpacking around NZ, pulling pints and picking fruit. It was fun to imagine the possibilities, but in reality I couldn’t afford to go anywhere for a while, so I figured I’d just stay put and save some pennies while grumbling my way through another cold dark wet winter in Bonn. I felt positive however, that there was something waiting for me, something I was destined to see or do. All my daydreams seemed unrealistic and I felt like I was being laughed at, as though something bigger than me and my tiny perspective was at work behind the scenes, smirking at me and my clichéd thoughts of escape. When I accepted the job in Batam it felt good. Unlike my previous daydreams, teaching in Indonesia had a weight to it, a purpose and a direction. I don’t know wh...
