Several months ago the director of AKIP was posted to Semarang Prison and here Pa Joko (who had been very good to me and I will miss him sorely) is handing over to Pa Imam in an official ceremony. Third years looking sharp as usual.

The remedy for the Indonesian malady of masuk angin is to be "crocked". Having contracted typhus in March, I then was unlucky enough in June to be bitten by a mosquito that gave me "chikungunya." I still have debilitating joint pain - though easing - after 5 months.
Ergo, crocking! I think the idea is to be in so much pain from the scoring that the original problem is forgotten....

AIM and AKIP both learn how to dance. Here are the AIM cadets learning the cha cha. Great moves from the second years.

A remarkably good looking santa claus from last christmas - noting that I have not posted since becoming ill in March.
This was at the erstwhile establishment in Cilandak known as "MadDogs".
