Day Four
Hello everyone...thanks for your comments! Keep 'em coming, or write to me at racecar_rach@hotmail.com
I'm still doing well here even though half of the brass section (there are four of us) have come down with "Bali belly." Also, I am once again without water at my homestay. It's almost comical...and yet not. At least I am putting those bandanas to good use.
There are chickens, roosters, skinny dogs, and offerings all over the streets. I took my first ride on a sepeda motor (motor bike) yesterday - very cool. I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Nicole says I have been initiated!
We have had four rehearsals of Michael's piece and things are progressing nicely. We are also rehearsing a piece for small gamelan and trumpet and sax (we performed this piece in Vancouver last spring).
On Monday I will start my pemade lessons with my new teacher, Guste. Later in the trip I will try to arrange some suling (flute) lessons. More on this later.
So much to say...and I did already as this is my second post since the last one I spent twenty minutes of warnet time typing didn't upload properly. As you can imagine, I will not be able to upload photos while I'm here. The internet is slow and circa '97. Hopefully this one will work!
Ciao and miss you all. R.

Sounds like you're having a great time. Good to hear that you're working on the piece you played out here in vancouver..It was SO good.
I hope the belly clears up...take care of yourself baby!!!! I miss you lots...remember vancouver loves you
Love Jon
Hey Rach! "Bali Belly" sounds nasty, but somehow still better than encephalitis. I hope you're not feeling either!
I'm all moved in to Mark's and my house now. Still rather boxed up and dusty but all will be sorted and cleaned in time. Besides that, work is good, life is far more boring than anything you could imagine, and everytime the sun peeks through the clouds I click my ruby slippers together and think, "There's no place like Bali. There's no place like Bali. There's no place like Bali."
From the sounds of your posts, I think my hunch is right.
Love from Vancouver!
