Semarang

Last Friday, most of our floor went out to lunch! Here, they had Tom and I try Sop Boxso (?) aka Meatball soup. Pretty good!


Relaxing morning up by the pool :) Excellent place to start the day!


Excellent place to end the day! Massages pool side :)


Brunch at the Shangri La hotel. Fantastic meal!


Monday we went to Semarang! We flew over in the morning and arrived just in time for lunch. The city is an old Dutch administration city - so the buildings were old and beautiful! Here's our group over lunch.


And the fish that was served to me... um...(It actually tasted really, really good)


Then we went to a local school for the CSR event. 



These boys... oh my gosh. I've never seen anything cuter. 




When we got out of the cars, the children began singing and dancing. It was such a fun welcome and they were adorable!











 Then the boys did their dance - oh my gosh, they were so serious! And all took their cues from the boy with the white headband. I was literally dying trying to hold in my laughter... ah, they were so great! All four were 6-7 years old and two of them were twins!






This one kills me :)


The girls pointing at us in the background... so cute!







Ceremony...


Kid time! I taught English again at this school - went through a packet and practiced spelling!


Those boys again... after it had POURED and they had played in the rain so they were soaked and all their makeup had come off
