Wow, today was a busy day. After getting some laundry done, I headed out to the local mall with Mikah, Christiaan and Aidan. They played at the Jump’n Gym and I hung out with the other MAF ladies at Starbucks. Hugo stayed home with the two youngest and finished the laundry (thank you hon!). After lunch our friends David and Santi picked us up and we went to Bandung Super Mall. It is a monstrosity of a mall. Quite a different layout than West Edmonton Mall. More up than out space wise and we parked underneath it… A little frightening if you think about it too much… There we met Santi’s family and hung out with them for a bit at a juice place and the kids played with lego at a little place that was selling toys. Then we went to the Egypt exhibit in the mall. After that we went to the fantasi place. It’s kind of like a small version of the entertainment park at West Edmonton mall. There Mikah rode the roller coaster and the boys did the bumper cars. After that we had supper at Popeye’s. Then we went to the feature attraction, Snow World. Thankfully Santi’s parents had bought our tickets ahead of time so we didn’t have to wait in line for them. But we had an incredibly long line to go through before we got into the exhibit. (see photo) Thankfully it moved fairly quickly. As we were the only buleh’s (whites) in the crowd we were again the object of much interest. Before going into Snow World we were all given winter coats to put on. Inside it was actually quite cold and there were many ice sculptures. There were Disney and zodiak themes. The funnest thing was the slide. Going down pure ice is pretty freaky! It was hilarious because everyone wanted their photo with us and our kids. We felt rather like celebrities except that no one asked us for our autograph… After that we dropped Santi off at home and checked out her parent’s house. It is really interesting to see how differently people here live than we do in Canada. The ride home from there was also very interesting. We went down an incredibly busy street with wall to wall cars and little warungs on each side selling all different kinds of food. We saw a couple that sell frog… yummm… It was like a scene from a movie of an asian city. Except this was real and we were experiencing it! WOW!
