I have been very delinquent in updating my blog these past few days. Actually, there has not been much free time and when I've had a few minutes, I was trying to catch my family on Skype. So, let me bring you up to date.
Thursday - March 15
We spent more time interviewing some of the staff at the Government Office (our client). Even with a translator, the language barrier is there, but we are making some progress each day. When leaving for lunch, we saw the security team practicing outside of the building.
Thursday night the team went to dinner and then some went to karaoke! It is quite different from what I am used to in the US. In the US, karaoke is usually set up in a restaurant or bar by someone who owns equipment. Then, all guests are able to sing on one system. Sometimes people don't get to sing as often as they want to, but the whole crowd gets to hear every song. In Indonesia and the place where we went, you rented a small private room with its own couch, television, and karaoke system. This was a super fun time and I expect we will do this again at some point! It was interesting that some people knew about karaoke, some didn't, and some people hadn't listened to music much before. I am learning a lot from my team members about their own countries, cultures, values, and beliefs. It is really cool!
