Spa in Yogyakarta

This is my favorite spa so far and it's right next to my campus (in the Jogjakarta Plaza Hotel)! For Rp297,000 or about $US30 I got two hours including body scrub, massage, sauna, body mask, and a flower bath. This is actually kind of pricey for Indonesia, but every now and then it's worth the splurge.

Bunaken Underwater Photos

Here are some great photos taken by my friend Philip, while diving in Bunaken. I was able to see the same while snorkeling.

Something unexpected happened at the museum.....

I visited the Sono-Budoyo Museum here in Jogja, which is a great museum. As I was leaving, a large group of Muslim school children were arriving for their gamelan (musical instrument) practice. Soon they were practicing their English with me. Since Indonesians don't waste any time in asking personal questions, one of them asked my religion. When I told them Christian, a few had really wide eyes and one shrieked! What are they teaching these kids?:)
