Just been upstairs at the new place watching a very red sunset & listening to cicadas, gekos, frogs & the call to prayer – amazing #fb #
Just watched a formation of 6 trainers go over – sounded like turboprops so I think they were KAI KT-1's (no wingpods to be Super Tocanos) #

Excellent news re: @matthallracing getting 2nd place in Perth – yay! #
Congrats also to @stevevisscher of @pcdu for keep us updated during the race – now go record some interviews & the post-race presentation :) #
Right, time for me to head to the pool so I can soak out the last of the hangover & cool off a bit before doing some shopping later #fb #
Having some food down the road – fortunately they do breakfast all day (it's 3pm here) #fb #
My GPS (old eTrex) has a huge problem locking onto satellites in Indonesia – most annoying :( #
Internet access in Indonesia is annoying – sites work fine then you get DNS errors then they work again – looks like bad filtering #fb #

Indonesian's love karaoke – for me, I have to be very drunk to get into that – now recovering from last night's "End of Workshop" event :) #
Midday call to prayer going off – the ones near this hotel sound harsher on the ears than the ones near the office or back in Jakarta #

Massive thunderstorm rolling around & over us has lead to yet another power cut – at least there's a breeze & the beer was still cold :) #fb #
Redbull @pcdu #FF = @MattHallRacing @Nigellamb & @Redbullairrace – the other teams are out there too but we haven't interviews them (yet :) #
Internet connectivity is pretty bad here & it's not helped by all too many power failures – welcome to the jungle (no really, we are :) #
'Cos the plane gets dirty?? :) :) RT @FlightExpQV: So why do you think it is a bad thing to fly through volcanic ash? http://bit.ly/9BLfyF #
RT @pcdu: In the media centre at Red Bull Air Race, Perth. Awesome! #

Now sitting by the pool at Jakarta & getting eaten alive by mosquitos – damn #fb #
Now very tired – quick dip in the pool helped – about to go out for dinner – RedBull time so I don't fall asleep in my food :) #fb #
Doing a crash course in Indonesian – with luck I'll just be able to say a very basic "Hi, how ya doin'?" by the time I leave next week :) #
Was sitting in the pool cooling off & listening to the call to prayer coming in from multiple locations – so not in Kansas anymore :) #fb #
