Seven Months in Siam 
I love it! Just imagine how your folks felt moving you to a very isolated and remote part of Indonesia at such a young age with next to no resources. I’m thinking that if you got through that, you can get through this! Enjoy! Your children will thank you in spades later in life. I know that I thank my folks, although might not have appreciated at the time.

Thanks ! My experience as a child was certainly a deciding factor in our coming here. Let them experience a new culture too.
