Although Jakarta has been an amazing place to be regarding connections and research, it is not the most palatable city- to say the least. Consequently, I have discovered this wonderful homestay program located in Cianjur (a small town about 2 hours away from Jakarta) that I will be going to tomorrow. Kind of a last minute decision, but I just needed a break from the overcrowded and dirty streets here. I plan to stay a few days- seeing a tea plantation, floating village, just living a few days in the life of rural Indonesia.. and of course, interviewing women on the jilbab. This is mostly and FYI in case I don't have internet there.
"Leeza" how extraordinary that your name is common! Enjoy some tea and I am so intrigued by the floating village!
