This is just a brief report to say "I'm still here!" Actually I'm not in my usual "here" (Bali) but far away. On Sunday 25/8/13 I travelled from Bali to Palembang in southern Sumatra with the University debating team and accompanying staff.
It was a long and tiring day. We left campus at 4:30 am, had a 2hr flight then a 4 hour transit stop in Jakarta, a 1 hr flight then a long delay at the airport. We had just missed a delegates bus to the hosting university and had to wait for the next one.
I had my photo taken with the traditional dancers and met some of the officials as we waited for the Opening Ceremony to begin. It was a long day with "waiting" being the main activity. We were all exhausted by the time we got to our small hotel at about 10 pm.
