What has happened since last time is that we have moved to a new place and that we have a girl from the village living with us. The reason for the move was to save money and to get a better place for Sunshine (since in the last place the pond at our terrace was an never ending story of us checking Sunshine all the time so he wouldn't fall in or throw everything at hand in the water. So far pretty much all of his toys, a mobile phone and miscellaneous other stuff have been in the pond...
Sunshine is running, jumping, dancing, singing, playing and climbing. He also have started to speak a little bit but mostly in Balinese (which I don't know). I always try to speak Swedish to him but Putu and Putu spend more time with him.
He is really developing fast and it's a joy to see him every day!
He is very social to other people and loves other kids - and animals.
The new place is nice... It's on a dead end street on the other side of Monkey Forest on walking distance to Ubud center. Quiet and green and the people in this village is more open and friendly than in the place we left.
Except for the room with kitchen that we sleeping in we have a BIG room to the street, almost like a shop with a lot of windows which out little girl Putu from the village (let us call he "Mboktuuu" as Sunshine does since it means sister Putu in Indonesian) sleeps in the night time and I use as office in the day time.
I've started working with graphic design and it turns out to be pretty good... Still some time before we can live totally from it but I get new customers for websites, flyers, posters and business cards all the time. Right now I'm looking for customers outside of Indonesia so if you know someone... hauler!

Daddy is coming to visit in December, Mom and her group of 12 people arrives in February, Jenny plan to come within a year and Ola and Maria talking about coming sometime in half a year. Some other visitors are also expected the next year...
I'm just back from a trip from Singapore where I had to go to get my working visa and soon I can work legally in Bali. NICE!
I plan to walk around Bali before Christmas if I can get the time and money. I have invited Putu's Dad to join me and he thought it was an excellent idea but he have problem with his foot so we'll see if he can join. otherwise I might invite our neighbor from the village who helped us with the garden or I just go on my own. I have decided that if someone should come with me they should not speak any english. I plan the hike to take 10-14 days and i expect to stay with Balinese people I meet on the way. The Balinese are very friendly and hospital so I figure it will not be a problem to find places to sleep when I'm walking and have time to stay and make friends. We'll see when this trip will happen...
I think that's pretty much it for this time... Enjoy the picures bellow!
