Yes , I get many things back to front , so is it sedikit blog or blog sedikit ?
By blog you mean bodoh? (stupid) it's sedikit bodoh, the order is just like english when its not an object (sedikit gila=little crazy, sedikit nakal=little naughty etc)
But yeah i think bodoh sounds a bit harsh, it's a word im careful in using even around friends, even more so goblok, which is kind of a harsher rough slang type word for stupid.
If I get something wrong in bahasa Indonesia, i just say "sorry ya, saya tidak professional " (I think professional is same just different spelling) "masih belajar" still learning ya.
Im not sure if thats what Indonesian's would say, but i kinda just like to use phrases that are a bit playful, as Indonesians love that playful joking type thing.
BTW. I think blog in Bahasa Indonesia is same as blog in english like a online journal thing

Yes correct indo blog is Balinese for stupid or unlucky depending on how you’re using it in a sentence. . Part of my stupidity is along time ago the family I was knocking around with tried teaching me Bahasa Indonesia, Balinese and village talk which succeeded in confusing the fuck out of me . I would sometimes try and say a sentence with 3 different languages in it and get some very odd looks from Indonesian’s that weren’t Balinese . I should speak way better than I do and now have trouble retaining a lot what I did learn . Not a good sign with both parents having had dementia . I’m thinking an opinion den in cambodia as part of my aged care plan .
You’re probably better than most Supa.
I have trouble getting terima kasih to roll off the tongue naturally.

Oh okay, i only know a couple Balinesse words, Sin kin kin, Singla piss, Om Swastiastu, Matur suksma, Bli :D
But i know what you mean when i go stay with my wife's family in Java all they speak is Javanese and it drive's me crazy as i only know about 20 words or so, so I have no idea what they are talking about unless i hear one of those words. (usually a dirty word when my wife and her mum are talking about sex :)
Ive also found when i go stay with my friends in the Telos i understand their Bahasa Indo real easy as its real basic common man lower class words, expression and conversation but if i talk to well off well educated Indonesian's in cities etc even in basic convesation they often use and expressive themselves with all these words i dont know, like they are on an Indonesian version of Dawson's creek.
It is rewarding learning Bahasa Indonesia though.
Big croc got someone in the Telos so police & army shot it.
Warning: footage is pretty graphic in typical Indo style, you see the body (this is what they would have shown on Indo news)
Hectic. Seems they got some degree of closure after the attack, in a way that we aren't allowed to with sharks.
That’s better footage than I saw last week in the western news. Nasty way to go.
They’ve had a few in Lombok last few years. Getting close to Bali.

Wasn’t there one on Kuta beach the last year or two?

There’s surf spots in Lombok’s Awang Bay where that spear fisherman got killed. Any surf spots near where this happened in Telos?

Where it was shot it looks like near the main town so about 5km either way to a wave.
Straight across from where it happened about 1 km away is all uninhabited islands with mangrove's for kilometres.
I did hear there was big one across there, but i think they come in attracted by dogs, pigs, chickens and rubbish, pig pens and toilets sit at the back of peoples houses over the water too so expect that is a bit like a burley effect.
Thanks
1km isn’t far when they get a taste for these animals in the waters edge.
Reading stats there is a lot of croc deaths in Indo every year.
Banyaks 2018 on the boat Seriti.
We are anchored off Treasures, after a few surfs one day, I paddle over to the island with a watertight backpack with binoculars inside.
Scoping around the defunct telco tower on the point, observing sunbirds in all their splendour.
I go walking into the very difficult and thick forest about 2km, underneath my feet it soon becomes wet and boggy, didn’t feel right.
I turn around and head back to the boat.
Upon my return to Oz, I found a science paper produced by some Indo students, a full Herpetological Report for the Banyaks Group of islands.
Crocodiles were represented.
The Torren Martyn and his partner on that boat trip film show a drone shot above them one day a mother fucker sized croc powering its way out past the line up.
We know big male crocs use the sea to get to far off river deltas and mouths to mate or have a fight with another male over a female.
Truly one of the planets create well adapted survivors of past generations of evolution. AW
Hail storm in Yogjakarta on 11th march, not the first time but a rare event nonetheless.
This young lady has died before rescuers could reach her , 3 days down there from local media reports .

Horrible.
Very harsh cold environment up there.
Tragic.

Up the top of Rinjani is at least a full day hike for very fit climbers, people who do peak usually take 3 days.
High altitude, lots of cloud so no visibility most days after a 9am or so.
Would be a major undertaking in a western country, a nightmare in Indonesia.

Thanks andy, sounds much more complex than I imagined. Poor woman, sounds like she was alive for a couple of days after falling.

Yeah, a horrific scenario. Poor girl.

Cheers gentlemen, currently enjoying an ice cold Bintang at La Hasienda, been on the road since 4:30pm yesterday.
Have a good one at Lances Supa, you definitely got the Hamster running with your WhatsApp message. Next year. Although I’ve just kitted out for a month of Canada and snowboarding in Dec/Jan( and visit the outlaws, but if we’re honest, it’s about the gravity pursuits.). The old wallet is a bit flogged out!
You can’t take it with you, Soggy. Spend on adventures and experiences is better than hoarding and not dong cool fun stuff.
Snow season incoming…..Japan has just had a dusting.
are we friends enough on here @RK, than I can point out (in full knowledge that you are intelligent and good at hard sums and stuff) that someone accidentally typing 'dong' is funny?
(actually 'Dong Cool Fun' isn't a bad band name. We had rehearsal this morning, and as expected @southern didn't show, didn't message.. we voted to change the band name from 'Wimpey Seahorse' to something a little jollier.. and @VJ cast the swinging vote to demote @southern to backing vocals and tambourine).
Hey guys,
Wondering what the go-to website is for Indonesian news/updates in English?
I'm mostly interested in Covid and international border related news. What's out there?
