Water Filter

CAN YOU DRINK THE WATER IN INDONESIA?

The answer to that question is…. YES!, after it has been filtered.

The tap water in Indonesia isn’t safe to drink. A large number of people don’t have running water in their homes and they get their water from the rivers, including drinking water. Many people buy bottled water in large jugs. These jugs are commonly seen in offices in the United States.

FILTER IN OUR HOME

In our home we have a water filter that we use all the time. It takes regular tap water and makes it safe for consumption.  Below is a video that shows the water filter in operation.

 

Rambutan

One of the world’s rare fruits!

Rambutan isn’t unknown in Asia, but in many other places of the world, this fruit has never even been seen. We took some time to make a little video to educated our friends about this delicious fruit–enjoy!

 

Making Progress!

What Said Those of the Mature Ranks Can’t Learn a New Language?

It has been said that language learning becomes harder the older you get. We are still in our 40’s and we are making progress!  It is facinating to know that we can make sounds, that don’t mean anything to us, and other people understand what we are saying–as if it is a form of communication!  We think we are going to do just fine through this language learning process. There may be stuggles from time to time, but we have complete confidence that we will be fluent in about 9 months.

 

Easy Language to Learn?

Some have previously told us that learning bahasa Indonesia was easy. I think that came from people who were either native speakers, or they had never learned the language themselves!  This language has many challenges, but, hopfully they will be overcome.
