week 3 in jogja

....... Teaching tomorrow.. thought it was today but it wasn't.. have to work on my class material tonight and have been warned there are some naughty boys in the class.. I'm looking forward to trying to tell them off but 25 indo kids might get the better of me!
Been doing laps in a lovely pool.. well six laps in my personal best, except I am a terrible swimmer, hoping to work on my technique!
getting to know the area & the back alleys better & some good eateries around here. Lots of dogs, cats & chickens everywhere.  No one beats tommy boy though.
There is an orphanage close by that I might go enquire at on wednesday and see if they will take me on once or twice a week.
Have scored a full day in english classes in a catholic school nearby, starting at 7am! I might regret this!
Also have a few other options for volunteering I will pursue later this week.
Getting around on foot or taxi, now Ben has a bike, it makes a big difference.. I want one too. But buying one for a small period of time I dunno.. I might see if i can borrow one for Bu here @ the homestay.
We went to a club on Saturday night, it was pretty crazy... kind of pathetic.. super innocent really except for the europeans and poor pick up lines from drunk bastards.. nothing unusual. Alcohol is ridiculously expensive but you pay the prices.. a bottle of coke to go with the scotch was 150000 rupiah. That is mark up of about 120000 for a bottle that size.. thats really the only way you can drink in the clubs, buy a bottle of liquor. Or you can buy a beer for twice to three times as much as you would normally pay and you never get change from the notes u give. I guess it has been a pretty good few weeks with less booze.. but it is good to go out and see the differences.
Hopefully this weekend we can go out from Jogja or head to a beach.
bought a great one piece swimming suit. Swimming in the pool @ the plaza is good because no one really looks.
The men can be ridiculously sexist and I am sick of wolf whistles.. Have been shopping and always wear pants, a long skirt but have started wearing shirts with smaller sleeves. I get sick of completely covered!
