1 week later....everything has changed.

Well I quite one job, but have just found another temporary one, so that will keep me out of trouble for the next 6 weeks.

Indonesian language is coming along, but my goodness, so they really have to roll all their R's out there. The Indonesians seems to love the constants, 'r' and 'k'. The sentence construction I am really worried about, but he ho!

At the doctors on Tuesday to get my medical done and start my vaccination programme.

The dentist has given me the all clear ;-)

And guess what T4 featured from of the lsland of Flores this week, and they are again next week, you can see all this on this link http://www.channel4.com/programmes/ultimate-traveller/4od#3048373. I will get to see all these sights but without the teenage angst, thank goodness! However it seems English may be more widely spoken than I initially believed, but I am still going to keep up the Indonesian, it would be so handy to know another language.

Hope everyone is well

Hi my name is Rachel, I am a social worker and I have quit my job in Local authority social work.

And the countdown is well and truly starting today, I have received confirmation that the placement identified in Indonesia for me definitely wants me, this has all been coordinated by Voluntary Action Overseas. I must state that the content of the this blog does not represent the views of VSO, and are just my thoughts and reporting's on what I have seen and the things I am learning from day to day. So it looks as though I am going to be leaving the country in the 5th of June 2010 for a new life for 26 moths in Indonesia. Needless to say life changing!

Just a few obstacles I need to get out the way, getting the all clear from the doctor and also praying that their is no delay in the Visa.

However if all goes according to plan I should be departing the UK on the 5th of June 2010 with my first stop being Bali for the first two months, ready for an 8 week induction. This will incorporate intense language training, further motorcycle training, getting used for riding with limited road surfaces and I will also need to start learning some basic sign language. This is because I am going to be working in a boarding school on the Island of Flores with children who are deaf or blind.

So the count down begins 82 days and counting before I leave the UK for some sun, Volcano and rocky roads. I shall try and update this weekly. Rachel
