Pak Lely's House
So very very sorry that there have not been any posts lately! I hope to get more on here soon!
Before we moved into Pak Lely’s house, we lived in a neighborhood called Pita Loka for 2 weeks. But Pak Lely’s house is the best house we have ever lived in! What you see in the picture is the part we lived in. Our Landlord lives in the same house, but they had a piece of wood over the door that separated our part from theirs.
We were playing soccer, Bandung’s

Pak Lely’s wife’s name is Ibu Bedah. They have four kids. Their oldest son is Obi`17; their only daughter is Lusi (Lucy) 14, their youngest sons are Rizal 11 and Rendi (Randy) 9. We loved playing with these guys.
Kids arrived home from school. Rizal is in the white shirt and Ibu Reni (Ibu Bedah’s sister-in-law who also lives next door) is in the yellow shirt.

All the kids could speak some English. Obi, Lusi, and Rizal could speak English very well compared to their parents who couldn’t speak any. Rendi could speak a couple of words.
This is our first visit to the house. I (Lindsay) am in the pink shirt. Emily is in the green shirt with blonde hair. MR.Z (our expat friend) is in the navy blue shirt. Ibu Bedah is in the green shirt, Grandpa Haji is in the blue shirt, and Grandma Haji is in the dress. Grandpa and Grandma Haji are Ibu Bedah’s parents. They live next door.
We were playing soccer, Bandung’s
favorite sport. They played it every day unless it rained. Sometimes they would play marbles or fly kites depending the season.
