Wait. No. That's 20 billion Rupiahs - roughly about 2 million US Dollars! That's how much grant we're suppose to cut by this Friday! So, the Banda office this week has been quite a madhouse. We've got about 20 villagers in the office everyday since Monday learning to write grant proposals. We're at full capacity in the guesthouse as well, with lots of staff from Jakarta up here to chip in - even had someone sleep on my floor last night! To add to the madness, we've had rain rain and more rain since Saturday evening. The rain knocked my new World Cup antenna into pieces! AND last of all, some assholes sabotaged some electric towers down south, affecting the power supply of the entire eastern coastline of Aceh province. I've had a few hours of power on Sunday, virtually no power yesterday, and some today. I've been lucky though, got some friends who haven't had power for 36+ hours and no generator. Sucks. According to the grapevine, it'll take about 10 days to repair the damage. Ack!!!
Damn, should have gone to Cambodia this week!
