A shorter episode today as my life is a bit hectic and I am a bit disoriented... Let me know what you think about audio quality (I use iPhone headset mic as I had klutzily left behind my regular mic)
On The Needles
- Monkey sock #2 in Three Irish Girls Adorn Sock in Alchemy, a Dye for Glory special colorway (remember? First Sock Summit event coordinating with Ravelry). Mention Sharon handing over 3IG to two new owners.
- Ball winder and wooden swift from ebay!
- Colours of Rain top is back on rotation. Realized I still remember lace pattern.
Recalculating Route
Multi ethnicity:
- Culture shock when first came to the States.
- On hind sight, shouldn't have been surprised since Indonesia is very multicultural. But the physical difference is not as marked as, say, Asians vs Africans vs Caucasians.
- I can tell apart Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese. Harder to tell apart Thai,Filipinos, Indonesians, Vietnamese. Ina mention she can usually tell which part of Europe a person comes from. Not only from facial structure but mannerisms.
Tadaima
- Currency exchange rate has shot 30% versus USD, and almost 15% towards Euro. Need to be more mindful of my purchases
- Stuffed toys donation for pediatrics cancer ward in Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital in Jakarta. A mother who had recently lost her son to leukemia will help distribute the toys to the kids. Send it to:
Count Me In / The Jakarta Globe
