Like the title says, this was the longest weekend I ever had until now. Friday morning, around 4:30 am, the volcano Kelud erputed and whole Yogyakarta was covered in ashes. This morning we got messages from Yuhda, Pita, Dede and our security guard at the apartment that we had to stay inside until the ashes where gone, and that we only could go outside with a mask and an umbrella.
So, I did what they told me. I stayed inside the whole day….. And what did I do this day? Well, I played a lot of league of legends games, made a lot of sudoku’s (thank you my dear friends =P) and I slept. During the afternoon Mas Dede came to us with food and water, in case we didn’t had enough left for the next three days. It was so nice of him to do that for us, also he brought us masks so we could go outside. But, he said that when it wasn’t necessary to go outside. Don’t do it, also leave your air-conditioner off because the ashes will come into your room.
So, the next three days where hot, full of gaming, making sudoku’s, sleeping and drinking/eating. I went to Janna’s apartment once to play Yatzee with her and with Dimas (sort of manager of the apartments) but that was at Sunday. And Sunday evening it started to rain. I’ve never been so happy with rain in my life, I can tell you that. I had hope that the next day the ashes will be gone and that we could go outside and to the UNY. Unfortunately, most of the ashes are still on the road so we have to wear our masks when we go outside. Because of the dust the cars and scooter throw up when they pass you.
Also, Jente bought us a Durian. Which looks like some sort of a pineapple, but doesn’t taste the same. The durian smells not so good when you open it, and the taste is indescribable. It doesn’t taste like something I ever ate before, but it wasn’t disgusting either. I still don’t know if I liked it or not =P Only, after eating it. The taste just didn’t want to go out of my mouth, even after brushing my teeth.
