We have lived in different countries because of my husband's work. I have made friends and we employed a househelp as well. Living in Indonesia is a mixture of nice and bad things. Nice things are the cheap clothing, bags, shoes, great food, wonderful maid and amazing friends. I am not going to mention the bad experiences we had as it is going to be uncool for my site.
However, it was very sad to leave Indonesia because I left some very nice friends like Somali, Beverly and other awesome friends. My daughter misses her friends Puja, Maryam, Kimberly, her other friends and classmates. We left a very trustworthy and great helper whom I considered a member of the family. She took good care of my 4 year-old daughter since she was 2 years old and it was really sad to see her cry when we left. I told my husband that of all the countries we lived in, I was unproductive in Indonesia but I met some really nice people and I will never forget them.
