Last week I took my first mini trip out of Singapore to Padang, Indonesia and its environs. Had a look at the towns of Bukkitingi, the Harau Valley, and Lake Minanjao. This area is where one of the last two matriarchal societies lives...the Minangkabao. They also have beautiful architechture that is modeled after the horns of the water buffalo. It was a great trip and very inexpensive...a big difference from Singapore.
Other than that, it has been just a very routine time as the trimester is winding down. I have also been trying to get a better grip on my dissertation research which is sadly not going where I wanted it to...hmmm....
And figure out where I am going for break...
