This is part III of our look at our lives in 2008. Previous posts here:

Part I & Part II.

In October, Jen took part in a Jakarta Animal Aid Network project to “fix” cats on Pramuka Island off the north coast of Jakarta. She had a great visit – the work they did on the island was useful and rewarding, and island was beautiful.

With some new friends:

Scenic Pramuka:

I was invited to go to Hong Kong to write a promotion exam – the bonus was that I was able to extend my visit and see some of the area.

I caught up with my friend Mark from Manila and his wife:

We made a quick run out to see the Po Lin Monastery:

Macau is about an hour’s ferry ride from Hong Kong. While I was in New Zealand, I did five bungy jumps, and when I heard that the tallest commercial bungy site in the world was in Macau, I had to go.

Here goes nothing:

The other major sight in Macau are the Ruins of St. Paul’s Cathedral:

While I was in Hong Kong, Jen was on her way down to Vegas for her sister’s wedding. The ceremony was beautiful, and Jen was thrilled to spend time with her family.

The lucky couple:

For Christmas, Jen and I went up to the Puncak, and stopped off at Taman Safari on our way home to visit some cute baby animals:

Peaceful Puncak:

So that was our year. Pretty busy, but we have so much to look forward to in our time here in Indonesia.
