Hares
This picture is from Matt185 in flickr of one his great pictures of wildlife, this is not one that I took myself. It was taken in the same region though.
I've been wanting to spot hares near enough so I can see them properly. Walking around fields seems to only give glimpses of them. I wasn't even sure that they were hares, except the part that it looks a bit bigger than a bunny. However this morning when I look outside the window into the fields, something flashes so fast amongst the tall grasses, as a hare could go about 70km/h. Isn't that amazing?
So in the evening I just sit by the window, watching the field. Because they say that hares are active in the nights and sleep in the day. And there they were, lots of hares or most probably one big hare and its leverets (baby hares) (the spell checker doesn't have this word in it). Hares tend to live singularly, with its mate or with its babies.
It was great. I might go hare watching again tomorrow.

Can't help it
I miss Jakarta, I miss my friends, I miss the food, the cheap things.
I'm not the kind of person who gets home sick and I can't really say that I'm home sick anymore, this is my home now.
I still feel Jakarta is the best city to live in, its so fun...!! You can go out at night any time to eat, there will always be food stalls open. The shops closes at 10 pm, not 6 or 7pm like in England or even closes at Sundays like in Holland. I know its really famous for its traffic jam, but I like driving in Jakarta its so d
angerous and exciting, you can use your car horn anytime you want!! hahahha..!! I guarantee you, if you can drive in Jakarta you can basically drive everywhere!
this picture is a courtesy of memoirsofaswifty at flickr
The food are various, no such things as bland without any spice grey food. You can find any type of food (usually very cheap) from any country and any part of Indonesia. Going to cinemas aren't as expensive as it ishere and people are a lot nicer. Oooh.. And its so hot that I can wear my flip flops all the time. No Coat NEEDED!!
I guess I miss my friends the most. With my friends I don't need to worry about faux pas, I don't need to worry whether I'm going to offend them or not,and I can rely on them. Anyway, hopefully I'm going to see Jakarta and my friends soon.

Wimborne folk festival
It was great!!!
well for anyone who doesnt know what is wimborne folk festival, here is a press release:
Every year in the weekend of the second week of June Wimborne, Dorset, England hosts a festival of folk traditions. The Wimborne square is closed for vehicle, stalls of every kind (selling stuff, tombola and charity raffles) spreads all over the town centre. Different attraction is performed, punch and judy for the children and lots of circusey type of thing. Morris and Folk dancing groups shows of their talents are also scheduled to perform continously in various location of the town. Ussually there are more than 30.000 people visits the festival during the whole weekend.
Pubs are normally full with people, some pubs (such as the white hart)provides bands as entertainment all weekend long The big event for locals however happens in cricket pitch just in the outskirt of the town centre. A massive tent, with a long bar and a big stage (not as big as pop concerts but big enough), is where people gather around to socialise and enjoy FOLK Bands. In peak time the queue to get in the cricket pitch takes abour 1 - 2 hours.
This year is my second year of folk festival its getting even more fun. We spent the whole weekend, going down to pub and every night in the Cricket pitch. Of course to avoid queue we would go rather early. On saturday night, we were getting a little bored and considering to go home, however the Pronghorns was going to perform!!. And when they did they were amazing, I know some people will say folk music is not cool, but I can guarantee you this is. I think its cooler than some EMO PUNK stuff. You could not not do the pogo!! honestly if you were there, if you wouldnt be able to even keep your head still.People were actually crowd surfing and stuff.
It was rough!! I even nearly get into a fight with someone!! (as people would say Im that wouldnt hurt a fly..well thats not true, anyway I don't really like fighting) and no!! I wasnt even drunk!!
In 3 words : it was fun!! then the next day the pronghorn played in the afternoon. Again we dance and dance and dance!! Even my friend's dad was dancing !!
We dance so much that our muscles were hurting and we could walk without "aw..oo..aw"ing.
Couldn't find any pictures, just have to wait till my friend sends me one

Nature reserve
We went for a walk yesterday, we went out to look for the nature reserve. We followed the map and when we got there all we can see was a massive field of wheat. It was a good view, however we wondered whether we read the map correctly. Apparently we did. The nature reserve starts of from the field to a chalk hill. Its amazing how flowers and lots of other plants can survive in a dry and chalky area.
When we went up the hill, we saw a clear horizon and when we reached it, there it was, a gorgeous view of the valley and miles and miles of rural landscape. It was a nice surprise, after our long walk. We had our picnic just on the edge corner of the hill, we ate our lunch enjoying the view and watching a skylark flying just bellow us in the valley.

I guess
Probably I should just write everything, and like everybody say what's important is to "be my self" (yuck!! I think that's probably the most over rated advise ) << ---- here is one of myself trying to voice my opinion. Anyway, some people will give an introduction about themselves, I dont think I need to do that considering the amount of freaks out there, and the people who knows me will know who I am. Plus its more fun to be anonymous since I've always been conspicuous to other people.
