Welcome to my journey to East Kalimantan

In early February, a week before I departed for my next Indonesian adventure, we'd had huge amounts of snow and multiple school closings. I have to admit that the idea of equatorial SEAsia appealed! And now I am here in Samarinda where my colleagues at Mulawarman University have welcomed me with generosity and grace. It will be such a short time to try to get a lot done, but we are ready to go, go, go!
