The past two days, we just killed time.We spent most of the day indoors, watching a movie on the laptop, figuring a bit out about Borneo and ventured out in the afternoon only after the morning thunderstorms had passed at 3:30.
We decided we'd take these opportunities to try to find Lonely Planet recommended restaurants. Note to self: Lonely Planet does not tell you if some restaurants are a bit of a trek away. We discovered this only after walking and walking and walking and walking and finding one recommended restaurant closed, and walking and walking and walking and finding another recommended restaurant closed. What does 'walking and walking and walking' equate to? Apparently, 9 kms! I do not like having to work so hard for my dinner. What am I? A modern day cavewoman who has to track and hunt down her food? That's why we invented delivery!
Then, the next day, when we finally made it to that restaurant - it was only okay. We gave it a 5 of 10.
In other killing time news, finally got a chance to take out the ukulele and work on a few songs. So far, although I have it with me, I've been way too embarrassed by my lack of ability to play anything to take it out (and I've discovered that people see it and immediately want to jam with you. I hate to tell them, I'm sorry, previous to this ukulele I can only jam if its in jazz form, and no I cannot play whatever song you immediately as me to play).
I've always figured, I play a bazillion instruments. Ukulele can't be that hard. In reality, probably not that hard, but now I've got to pull up memories from music theory days and remember and play chords. I'll show you ukulele. I will become your master! I've got 6 months.
Tomorrow - Borneo.
