A slow week

This week seemed much slower than others.  Thursday was a national holiday (Ascension of Christ), and the rest of the week was very uneventful.  The rain season ended last month, but we've had more rain this week than any other week since we've lived here.  On Friday, the rain was so bad that my drive home required two detours to avoid flooding.  For those of you who have been to our house, the grocery store was flooded, as was the security gates.  They were not letting residents go to the apartments because the elevators were under water.

With the holiday on Thursday, my wife and I took the opportunity to go club hopping in Kemang.  While we had fun, either Wednesday night, even a Wednesday before a holiday, is just not the time to go, or nothing happens until really late.  The first club we went to was Cafe Amor.  We were the only guests at 10 PM and finally left about 10:45.  We then went to the "Green Room", and found it, too, empty.  So, we walked up the street to NuChina who was hosting an FHM Models night.  We stayed there until midnight and it never really became crowded, nor did the models materialize.  Our last stop was at the Elbow Room.  We ate there on our wedding anniversary.  It was crowded and had a nice live band upstairs.  We stayed there for an hour and finally called it a night.

Saturday we had plans to go to the Botanical Garden in Bogor, but both our kids came down with head colds, and our daughter woke with a fever, so we stayed home.  They are both feeling better now, however, on Sunday night.

I've been trying to get to join a rugby team for the last few weeks with no luck.  This Thursday, however, I think I'll finally make it out for my first ever rugby game.  My goal is to come away uninjured, able to walk at work the next day, and not embarrass myself on the field.  Getting a serious injury three weeks before our European vacation would not be a good thing.
