Moving Day!!

Hello! Well I’m happy to have you filled in on the festival at least, but that does only take us up to October 3rd, so as you know, I still have a lot of time to account for. One of the most industrious projects we’ve been a part of so far was…. Moving! The Indonesia team has had a house in Berastagi (about two hours up from Medan) for the past 7 years, however now the team headquarters will be in Medan, with Susan. So we had to move everything from the Berastagi house to Susan’s Medan house. BUT… Susan’s current (at the time) Medan house was too small for us, not only did we have to move Medan House 1 to Medan House 2, we also had to move Berastagi House to Medan House 2. Lots of moving!

Finally we had everything in Medan House 2 (which will from now on be known as Medan House). Did I mention Medan House was a mess? But with a lot of scrubbing, we now have a home away from home!

Here are some before and after pictures:

The very very very best thing (I think) about this house is that it has a TOILET!!! You would be surprised how quickly the novelty of a squatty wears off. I would include a picture, but come on—it’s a toilet.
