THIS AND THAT

Good news! I'm totally back on track. Over the hump of being sick. I think I got myself back on track again yesterday. Had a very productive day yesterday. And thank God for that. A sick person is something I am NOT very good at. G-R-U-M-P is a good way to describe that. Now unfortunately though ......... it's the other Me's turn. (guess I better be nice - think maybe I owe him one in fact)

Even managed to get out yesterday and get a couple of new photos too. They (someone) just keeps on putting new buildings up. Can anyone guess where this is at?

Yesterday even included a stop at the new YULI'S CAFE & PIZZA for a burger last night. Best burger in town I'd say. Totally awesome - it was really good in fact.

TODAY: I'm pumped! And this day is already off to a flying start - up early, and on the go. Have a lot of stuff I'd like to get done and a whole bunch of things I need to get done. I'm on a mission to get this big, big project of mine over and done.

....... and then I can move on to more interesting stuff.

Good to Go!

CONSTRUCT

Wow, well some really exciting stuff happening in town for us. Yesterday they started putting up the big huge sign for the new Hypermart Store. Hypermart what? Hypermart is a very big, big supermarket - and in Balikpapan we could sure use that. (I wonder if they'll have cream cheese?) Very close to where the A&W is going to be. And there's a new sign up for Starbucks too. "1st in Kalimantan." (We're getting close Jan - it's almost coffee time.)

Wholly, options? Options? In Balikpapan? Wow! Go Hypermart Go! And A&W and Starbucks too. Now that's cool! Now that we've got signs - hmmmmm ........... we just need them to open up.

Balikpapan, I think, should be called the city of cranes. Balikpapan is a totally happening place when comes to construction. Malls, hotels, houses, offices, and apartments. And the people that make the bricks for all this - they might be at their busiest yet. Yes, almost everything here is made of re-bar, cement and bricks. First a cement frame and then filled in with bricks. And a bit more cement on top of all of that. Amazing to watch, especially the guys way, way up on top.

TODAY: Friday. Hari Jumat. Batik Day. Big Mosque Day. End of the week day - for most, for everyone else - almost.

Busy day ahead - starting with the pool. ATM - time to re-stock Rupiah (Everything here is cash or Not.) Need to do a drop off. Maybe a bit of shopping. And a dinner party later tonight.

Ok, busy day, lets get going! Good to Go!
