The Apartment

Sunrise, view from Jacob's room (Vic's room during the visit)

We are 20 floors up; look down and you can see the men working, and the shanties where they sleep.

View toward the road from the balconey.

View of the grounds

This is Matt and Renee's apartment building; their apartment is on the corner, 20 stories up.

Bird's eye view of the grounds

You can see the rectangular "cut outs" that light the garage below these grounds.

Children's play area from above.

The grounds and play area.

Maddie hanging on tight, and coming down the rope.


View from the balcony over neighboring towers.

Living area from the entry way; Maddie is watching a tape.


Living area from the dining area.

The actual seating area was quite cozy.

View from the kitchen through the dining area and to the living area. We would stand in the kitchen and close this door and call folks back in the States.

Looking out over new towers; the stove is on the left.

Alcove, Jacob's chair, and water bottle, just adjacent to the kitchen door.

Matt feeding Jacob; the kitchen is in the background.

The dining table was made of frosted glass and wood. This was our last breakfast: Renee bought Indonesian rendang, and noodles.

Getting ready to leave for the day.

Light fixture in living room and Jacob's room.

Study area, and children's play corner.



The green pull out couch made a very comfortable bed.

Maddie's room; Paul and Carol's guest room.

A Day in the Kitchen


As with all the photos on this blog, double click on the image to get a better view. We spent a pleasant afternoon in the kitchen, baking cookies with Oma's chocolate chips. Maddie added the chips and stirred the dough.

Fen cooked breakfast and lunch every day, and sometimes dinner. Here you can see the stages of her dumplings, including making the pork filling for the dumplings, filling the dumplings and shaping them, steaming them, and drying the washed bamboo steamers on the balcony.

Here's what a steaming pot of dumplings looks like. This video is only 10 seconds long.

Check this blog regularly, sweeties, as Auntie will be placing the rest of the photos here over the next week or so.
