Moved to my permanent home today. For the past two months, I've been in temporary housing. The last place was a two bedroom, 2 bath apartment with a really large living room and dining room. I'm now in a very tall building apartment in a 3 br, 2 bath apartment. However, in just size comparison, it's probably actually smaller in terms of square feet.
The facilities though are nice! The apartment is fully furnished and has a pool and gym so I'm excited to getting back into the fitness routine. The embassy has a crossfit group every day after work but I always struggle to make it out on time since they begin at 4:30 in the afternoon.
It is also very newly constructed and modern. I already received my UAB (Air shipment) and now I'm just waiting on my HHE (house hold effects, shipped via boat). I'll really start to better understand the extent of Jakarta traffic as before I was able to walk to work and now I'll have an actual commute.
One quirk that I will have to get used to is the sound of prayer and religious chanting/music. The apartment is near a residential neighborhood and the local religious group uses a loudspeaker or sound system to broadcast out. So from morning till late evening, it's easily audible from inside all the apartments. Really is a reminder that I'm in Indonesia!
On the different note, I went to karaoke with some friends and had a blast. Happy to have found a new karaoke group!
