Rotary

I have accepted the position of President elect for 2013/2014. It will be a challenge I look forward to.
What is Rotary?

Indonesia

Well, I am off to Indonesia this week. As part of my new job, I have staff in Balikpapan, Indonesia which I need to manage.
Balikpapan is a seaport city on the eastern coast of the island of Borneo, in the East Kalimantan province, a resource-rich region well known for its timber, mining, and petroleum export products. The city has a population of around 470,000.
The average monthly max temperature all year is 29-30 degrees C, while the minimum is 25-26 degrees C.
I finally get to fly on the new Airbus A380, as I fly via Singapore. I am a big fan of the old Boeing 747, but technology changes, so it will be good to see how the A380 shapes up.

Pajero

My trusty Pajero has finally gone. After 16 years of great service, it has gone to the 4WD graveyard.
As a result, my primary mode of transport is my trusty Honda Shadow motorbike. Great when the weather is good, but not so nice when it is bucketing down rain (which it has been doing a bit of recently).
A new 4WD is on the agenda, but this time will be a dual cab ute.
