We don't have a car and we are staying in a guesthouse, so we have to go to malls to eat dinner. And how do we get there?
We ride in a taxi.
We don't fit in one taxi, so we take two. Girls in one, boys in another.
The girls' taxi driver on the way home seemed silent, until my mom started talking to him. =) Most of this conversation has been translated into English. =)
"Where are you from?" The taxi driver continued to drive several words into the conversation.
"We're originally from America, but right now we live in Papua." My mom replied.
"Aduuuuhh, jauh!!"
This is just a little highlight, considering I was about to pass out because of the timezone difference. =P
But, if you have never heard someone from Java/Sumatra say "Aduuuuhh, jauh!!", it is hilarious. =)
And if you're wondering what "aduh jauh" means, it means: "Oh! Far!"
I love the way Indonesians talk. =) And I love how they express their words even more. =)
Indonesia's awesome. Gonna' miss this place so much! =)
Next blog post will probably be posted from America!! (After several days =P ) (They'll probably also be of some tired people who are *trying* to recover from jet-lag. ;) )
