I have been here in Australia for 2 months and 16 days now. We left Jakarta, Indonesia last June 5 after living there for more than 2 years. We are lucky to leave the country before the bombings of JW Marriot and Ritz-Carlton Hotels last July 17, 2009 in the city of Jakarta. My condolences to the families of the victims, such a sad day.
So far, I am having a bit of a tough time adjusting here. Having a maid and a company driver as well as cheap taxi fare in Asia, here I have to rely on my husband to get me around. The reality of cleaning, cooking and looking after a daughter without any help is a bit of a challenge for me right now. I am sure I will be able to manage my time with a few adjustments here and there. I am also hoping to continue my driving lessons that I didn't finish when we lived in Mornington, Victoria here in Australia 6 years ago. Well, it is easy to forget about driving when you can get a cheap taxi fare in Asia not to mention my husband's company driver whom I can borrow anytime.
All I know is that I am happy we finally have our keys to our new house last 17th August! A new life and a fantastic one!
