Surabaya

I arrived Surabaya to visit my families, the longest one after fifteen year.  It's one month.
Many experiences and eye opening for me how the Indonesia has developed to be the center of South East Asia, especially Jakarta.

Surabaya is my hometown where I grown up and spent my teenage years with families and friends, unforgetable friends and friendship.

Seeing old friends with families and kids made my life so empty, for not having a child by choice.  I can see the pains but also the joys for having a child.  You can seem he/ she grown up: picking up from school, piano recital, soccer practice, ballet lesson, , , and more.  There are pains when they are not obidient, brutal and becoming a looser at the end.
Is it worth it . . . it's NOT even a question.  It's the biggest responsible for bring a child to the world, so no matter what happend parents need to be very rational not emotional.

Doing business in Indonesia is not easy, connection is no 1 resourse and bribery is no 2 action.
People are so wealthy and yet so poor, the gap is getting so obvious.  I don't feel very comfortable, and I am not sure either for moving back to Indonesia.

I have an idea but no execution yet, talked and exchanged ideas with friends and relatives, there is possibilities but not easy since I have left Indonesia for too long. 

However, I can't turn back so I will just dive it out and let the time passes by. . .
