Five Years!?

Where has the time GONE?

People in Indonesia are always commenting on my bahasa abilities, and asking the next logical question, which is "How long have you been in Indonesia"?  I just realized the other day that I was answering FIVE YEARS!

And now here I am headed back again for another indefinite length of time... The place must be addictive... or it's all the cloves... wasn't there a study done a while back that showed cloves to be addictive?  And I seem to remember Tim Horton's catching some flack because they were putting cloves in the coffee to keep people coming back for more of the liquid gold?!  hmmm... there might be something to this theory!?
