Slowly by slowly, bit by bit

In this episode we discuss some recent news reports of Bules (Foreigners in Indonesia) behaving poorly and thus resulting in them being deported and how this reflects badly on the majority of Bules doing the right thing.  

Join us for episode 4 as we cover the topic of menstrual cups and our personal journey into this new and fabulous world. 

Listen to the hilarious story of Elena's Rabies vaccine journey and laugh along at some of the processes unique to this fabulous place we call home. 

Covid, covid, covid, what it is like now and how we feel.  And as always, some side tracked convos on other random subjects. 

Welcome back as we embark on season 2 of Slowly by slowly, bit by bit. In this episode we talk about a recent news story involving a pregnancy of unknown origins, we also, as per usual get side tracked and discuss on things funny with the word.....penis!

Ahhh, it's good to be back.  

In episode 6 we cover the topic of marriage, sex, sexual health and being a woman in Indonesia.  It's a complex issue crossing over with modern society, culture, tradition and religious expectations. 

Join us for Episode 5 as we explore the world of shopping! We do our best to describe what was tricky for us to understand and get used to, what to expect for tipping and how to deal with being followed around the store not just by the shop assistant but by anyone who takes an interest in the Bule!

In Episode 4, we explore the language of Bahasa Indonesia, is it easy like people say? Or is it actually a very complex language mixed with so many dialects and cultural influences that the every day Bule will never understand?

Join us as we tell you our experiences of learning the language while living here, mix ups we have had and laugh with us as we tell you what words trip us up on a regular basis. 

Join us as we fill you in on what life is like here at the moment during the Covid-19 pandemic.  We will talk about what the international media aren't telling you, if we are feeling safe, are people following the rules and the difficulties of handling a pandemic in a country of 270million people, whom a lot of, live hand to mouth, day by day under the poverty line.  Can we trust the numbers? Can Indonesia be doing more? Well, we wont be solving the worlds problems but we will be giving our very humble opinions on life as it is for us during this crazy year of 2020!

Journey with us as we talk about every day life in Indonesia.  Being married, not being married, toilets, having our picture taken by strangers, the language and more random topics.  We laugh our way through some of our daily experiences and occasionally throw in some cultural information and language tips.
