Commute (last one)
Alright. After today’s post, I’ve got to start shooting, and posting, some new stuff. Here’s the end of my walk to school:
The floors above the Hypermart sign are my school. Yes, it feels a little weird to be teaching in a high-rise building.
One quick note here. I love these guys. Our school has a security guard on practically every floor, and they greet me as I enter the building. I’ve struck up a bit of a rapport with a few of them, Pak Setyo especially. He and I have agreed to trade language lessons. He learns English from me, I learn Bahasa from him. It’s a nice trade-off, but I like the relationship more than the lessons. The security guards are one of the many joys of working at SPH International.
Must say a most attractive route.

A most interesting series of photos and a walk that beats anything in Chilliwack or Abbotsford. Thanks for letting us see what you are seeing.

Thanks. Yeah, the differences between the Fraser Valley are many, but my love for this place is growing with every day.
Thanks for checking in.

Thank so much for the pics. Brought back wonderful memories of living in Jakarta for 6 months in 2006. The manner you took the photos made me feel I was back in the ‘gang-gang’ I used to walk down in South Jakarta. Despite the traffic and other problems, the city really has soul…

I’m glad that I was able to capture that feeling. Btw, what’s “gang-gang”? Also, in what part of Jakarta Selatan did you live?

I wanted to write just ‘gang’ (lane), but thought anyone reading would think I was in the hood! So I put the plural just to dispel any wrong notion. I was in Asem Baris for 3 months then Condet for the last part. Now I’m just across the water from you in Malaysia.

Cool. How close are you to KL?

Very near in Selangor. Look forward to more photos from you!

I was curious because I’m going to be in KL next month for training (IB school).
