We have now been in Jakarta a few days. We are getting used to the time change and even to the hot weather.
On Tuesday, we were introduced to the BTGH staff in Jakarta and to the work they do. The BTGH office here in Indonesia produces 4 radio programs: 2 short 5-min dailies, one long weekly program and a weekly radio drama for kids. In addition to the radio broadcasts, the office writes weekly scripts for a children's television program and is beginning work on a 52-episode adult TV show. Also, they produce devotionals for mailing, like the "Today" from BTGH in North America. However, they make 4 different devotionals: one each for kids, teens, young adults, and adults.
Beginning on Wednesday, we started work on our own radio scripts; one for the long program and one for the short program. It is interesting to work on a radio show for an audience you do not quite know. Keri and I are quickly learning that some ways that Indonesian radio broadcasts differ from their American counterparts.
As for our free time in Jakarta, Keri and I are immersing ourselves into the Indonesian diet. Lots of rice, spicy sauces and fresh melons are typical of daily meals. Wednesday night, we took a taxi to a local mall to buy some Indonesian shirts, aka, batik shirts. On the way back to our host house we got caught in a torrential downpour. Even though we are in the "Dry Season" the rain came down in sheets. Also the streets we needed to take to get back were flooded with water, with the water coming up over our shoes. Needless to say, Keri and I looked like drowned rats by the time we made it back to home. I think our hosts believe we were a little crazy for not carrying an umbrella. We will know better next time. I guess this is what happens when Minnesotans try to visit a tropical environment. We get soaked.
Well since tomorrow (Friday) is a Buddhist holiday, the country has the day off of work. Keri and I plan on relaxing a bit, and perhaps shop for some souvenirs from local vendors. On Saturday, we will go see Mini Indonesia, an attraction that has examples of dress, buildings, and plants from all over Indonesia's 10,000+ islands.
You can hope to hear from us again on Monday, when Keri will leave already to head back to the States, leaving all the spicy food for me.
Jonathan and Keri
