New Digs

As I said over at my other blog, Tim and I just moved into our new, more permanent digs here in Jakarta.  It's a nice apartment near some good restaurants, and Tim's company stores one of their cars in the garage, so Tim is able to grab a ride to work and back each day, which is highly convenient.

We still don't have most of our stuff yet, but there is a little bit of furniture in the apartment already.  None of our cooking gear has arrived yet, but we did purchase a grill for our back balcony this weekend, so we plan to do a lot of grilling over the next few weeks.  We're busy dealing with all of the little things... getting internet set up, buying all the essentials, finding some cool local-style furniture (daybed made out of an old Javanese carving, perhaps?).

Hazy view of some skyscrapers from our back balcony.

Durian tree in the yard next to us!  Hard to see in the photo, but if you look closely you can see the big old spiky things hanging down.
