Hi all! sorry to have been away so long.
Unfortunately... I am still in the states. No longer in the midwest, but in the fine city of Eugene, Oregon...
I was led here by someone who had wished an aide and travel companion to Bali.
-Let's just say that everything does not always work out as one may hope.
I will still be there, only not as soon as I had hoped and planned on.
I have so much waiting for me there that it is now driving me as I have never been driven before.
However, this is quite a nice place also...The university, art scene and all around culture is great! There are no less than three Gamelon orchestra here. One Balinese, sometimes led by I Made Kantor, of Ubud. One Javanese, which I have been allowed to join...and one that is 'experimental' that I have not had much info on yet.
there are a few Balinese living here, and folks from Lombok. I do hope to meet them soon, I have met a good contact in a university professor.
Next tuesday the ID alt rock band, 'Rumah Sakit' will play at the campus...very cool.
Local galleries have juried some of my paintings, and have accepted them. I have a 'real' job too. ...I have been here 2 weeks.
Why have I been away? Not even a pc at the home of the person who has led me here! much less the networked system I was led to believe existed???? :roll:
I had to have a piece of mail sent to me to be able to get a library card to use public PC's. -Now that I know that I will have $ coming in again I have broken down and allowed myself a membership at "Indra's internet cafe", which is where I am now, Just having finished writing to a very understanding, but deaply saddened Balinese woman I have until now neglected to tell you all of. She is waiting for me, and I will be there. I am again offering my service, in any capacity I am capable of providing to anyone(...anyone honest with me) that can assist me in going to the place I BELONG.
I am not a wealthy man. I am a resourceful one. A dedicated one. Honest, trustworthy, hard-working and a gentleman. I need an expat job, and I need it bad!
Later I will relate the story of my experience at Chicago O'hare airport. I think that 4 S's at the bottom of one's ticket must mean stop, search, seize and SCARE THE *@#$$#@OUT OF!!!!
Nanti
