In Episode 4, we explore the language of Bahasa Indonesia, is it easy like people say? Or is it actually a very complex language mixed with so many dialects and cultural influences that the every day Bule will never understand? Join us as we tell you our experiences of learning the language while living here, mix ups we have had and laugh with us as we tell you what words trip us up on a regular basis. 

Join us as we fill you in on what life is like here at the moment during the Covid-19 pandemic.  We will talk about what the international media aren't telling you, if we are feeling safe, are people following the rules and the difficulties of handling a pandemic in a country of 270million people, whom a lot of, live hand to mouth, day by day under the poverty line.  Can we trust the numbers?
