Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia: How To Be An Underwater Model
http://julianne-in-indonesia.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-be-underwater-model.html
Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia. Monday, April 26, 2010. How To Be An Underwater Model. Have you ever thought about what it takes to be a good underwater model? I certainly never had and I learned that it’s harder than it looks! Salvador Dali sponges are only found in Gorontalo. Note the four elements of a good underwater composition – first you see a bit of the wall, then the sponge attached to the wall, then the diver and then the sun in the background.

Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia: Love On Hold...
http://julianne-in-indonesia.blogspot.com/2011/04/love-on-hold.html
Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia. Monday, April 4, 2011. When Henry and I first talked about the possibility of a long-distance relationship back in August, I hesitated. Long distance relationships have never really worked out for me and I thought for sure that a long-distance romance based on only 3 days together wouldn't stand a chance. Everything was going just great between us - until he came to Indonesia over New Year's to visit. April 5, 2011 at 11:11 PM. And I cant wait to see you! World's Most ...

Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia: June 2011
http://julianne-in-indonesia.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia. Saturday, June 11, 2011. First Underwater Photos Published! Rantje first asked me to write an article for 'What's Happening? The free North Sulawesi tourism magazine, more than a year ago near the end of my first fellowship year in Gorontalo and now it's finally been published in the Spring 2011 edition of the magazine. And he really surprised me by submitting two of my own photographs with the article! With my sister and Mark and once again in March. With Megan and Ch...

Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia: The Togean Islands
http://julianne-in-indonesia.blogspot.com/2010/04/togean-islands.html
Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia. Thursday, April 8, 2010. It all began Friday night on the 13-hour overnight ferry trip from Gorontalo to Wakai on the Tuna Tomini. To make some extra money. We hovered by the door as the crew members hurriedly packed up their clothes and vacated the room, phone chargers trailing behind them. Then we moved into the four bunk room that still had their sheets on the beds. Yes, this was a little bit sketchy, but we were happy we had a door that locked and AC. It doesn̵...

Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia: Does Vagina Chalk Really Exist?
http://julianne-in-indonesia.blogspot.com/2011/02/does-vagina-chalk-really-exist.html
Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia. Saturday, February 19, 2011. Does Vagina Chalk Really Exist? Via Via is one of my favorite restaurants in Yogya. Calling itself a 'travelers' cafe', it not only offers up a delicious mix of world cuisines and live jazz on Friday nights but it also organizes interesting sightseeing trips around town using local forms of transportation. One of the tours on offer is the ' Jamu. Is the word for traditional herbal Indonesian medicines and you can see jamu. Yes, apparently, ...

Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia: Tana Toraja
http://julianne-in-indonesia.blogspot.com/2010/06/tana-toraja.html
Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia. Monday, June 14, 2010. Beautiful scenery in Tana Toraja. All in all, our trip took 11 hours instead of 8. Early the next morning we got up early to have a lovely banana pancake breakfast on the veranda of our traditional tongkonan. Fery proved to be a good choice because, being Torajan himself, he knew the area well but he had also lived in many other places in Indonesia and had a good sense of humor. He was great! The first touristy stop of the day for our merry troop...

Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia: Durian - What's The Big Stink?
http://julianne-in-indonesia.blogspot.com/2011/06/durian-whats-big-stink.html
Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia. Friday, June 10, 2011. Durian - What's The Big Stink? I had somehow managed to survive nearly two years in Indonesia without sampling what can arguably be called its most famous fruit - durian. Resembling a large, slightly oblong bowling ball covered in spikes, this is a fruit with a colorful, or should I say, malodorous, reputation. Banned in hotels and airplanes for its intensely fragrant aroma (stench? You would really have to like durian a lot to use these. And And...

Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia: A Traditional Balinese Healer
http://julianne-in-indonesia.blogspot.com/2010/01/traditional-balinese-healer.html
Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia. Monday, January 4, 2010. A Traditional Balinese Healer. It’s been a while since my last post and one of my New Year’s resolutions is to blog more often. December was a whirlwind of travel and finishing up the end of the semester and, as a result, not much blogging got done. Ubud is the artistic and cultural capital of Bali, known for its traditional dances, shadow puppet shows, local artisans and now also for its prominent role in the bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love.

Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia: Torosiaje - A Bajo Village on Stilts
http://julianne-in-indonesia.blogspot.com/2009/12/torosiaje-bajo-village-on-stilts_17.html
Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia. Thursday, December 17, 2009. Torosiaje - A Bajo Village on Stilts. Last weekend I had the chance to discover a wonderfully remote corner of Sulawesi – the traditional fishing village of Torosiaje, home of the Bajo sea nomads. Since the 10. 8211; a local salsa made with coconut oil, onions, tomatoes and chilies. I had been avoiding it because spicy food makes me hiccup, but at this particular restaurant they served the dabu dabu. December 17, 2009 at 9:07 PM. We just re...

Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia: Take A Chance On Me
http://julianne-in-indonesia.blogspot.com/2011/05/take-chance-on-me.html
Confessions of an ELF in Indonesia. Saturday, May 14, 2011. Take A Chance On Me. The next day we headed off for our road trip to North Carolina. We spent a couple of days exploring the Outer Banks and then headed back to DC via Charlottesville, VA, where we stopped to see Monticello and dine on food from yesteryear at Michie's Tavern. Somewhere in between eating delicious food and laughing along to Car Talk podcasts on our road trip, we realized that we can. Be a couple again. View my complete profile.
