So we’ve moved into a new house – it’s really big and beautiful. Here are some pictures.
We’re also going to school! In the beginning of the trip we visited a place called Green School. Well, now we’re going to it. It’s pretty much in the jungle, the classrooms are just about outside, there’s a huge river that runs through the middle of the school, and it’s basically pretty cool. Our classes are small and mixed-grade (1-2 and 3-4), and we have to say the work is pretty easy. We get to do things like permaculture class (I was the only one who knew that squash was nitrogen fixing! – AJ), and gamelan (which I don’t like – Padma), and mask making (which I do like – Padma). It’s great to be with other kids again – we’ve already made new friends and had sleepovers and parties.
This is called a bale. Every family compound has one:
AJ's room:
Upstairs:
The kitchen:
Front room:
Awesome outdoor shower:
Mom's room:

Here's some pictures of our school.
A few days ago, my mom was going to do internet and we were going to go with her. But then my brother saw a baby chick without a mom and he said, "i want to stay here at the car." And then I saw it too and I said, "i want to stay at the car, too." So my mom left, and we caught the chick. We went into the car and waited for my mom to come back. When she came back, she said we couldn't keep the chick, but then she said ok. So now we have a little fluffy chick in our garden.

We'll try to write again soon. We miss everyone, but we'll be home pretty soon.
