Forgive us for not putting up any pictures or videos yet...let's just say I miss my high speed internet & I don't have a lot of patience...but they are coming! I don't know about videos, bc Jon might not have the program to make our videos the small size they need to be so I don't think we'll be able to put some. We'll be back next week so I guess you all have to wait until then. So I hear that there is a lot of snow over there, I really do not want to go b...

Being poor is not dirty. I really like that quote my aunt said the other day. Jon and I have been at the villages for the past 5 days. We stayed at my grandmother (father's side) at Kota Merudu for two days and then went to my mother's old village for three days: Kampung Narinang and Kaung. I was able to meet my grandfather for the first time who is 93 years old and still outside working hard on the rice paddy, barefoot. He is still in great condition, so I...

Jon and I are staying at my grandma's village right now. And it is true village, with the house made of wood and us being way out near the mountain.

I think Jon & I have gained at least 5 pounds since we've been here. It really is GOOD EATS! haha, the food is so good. Last night we went to eat at a local Chinese place and Uncle Terry gave Jon a 10/10 for trying new foods. Jon has tried everything and so far he hasn't gotten sick:) Today we are going to the market and also going to my dad's village called Tamparuli for the next two days, so it should be very interesting to see. Its about 2 hours away...

Hi Everyone!! There is so much to talk about and we have only been for 2 days. After 23 hours of basically non-stop flights and almost having our luggage left in Korea, we finally made it to the KK. We had a little adjusting to do on the first night. There are geckos in the house that just crawl all over the place Its actually a good thing for us because the geckos eat mosquitos. Jon & I are used to them now:) The next day we were able to go to the mar...
