Last week while house hunting in Jakarta, Decy had one of her favorite houses pulled out from under her.  Then, recall I blogged her Top-4 ... well, No. 1 the Pondok Indah house was taken before Decy could begin negotiations on Monday morning.

So, not to lose spirit ... Decy and I (primarily Decy, because there are 6 time zones between us) took on piranha instincts and started negotiating on the DaVinci house (No. 2; some pics will be posted momentarily).  Talks are underway, and I suspect that much will happen tonight, while I sleep. Especially when you recognize that the owner will collect 75% of 2 years of rental within 2 weeks onces he signs the paperwork ..... hmmm, $4,350/mo x 24 mos x 75% ... looks like a bit of money.  Hopefully, all goes well tonight. Keep praying for Decy ... this is a challenging situation.

As for me and "boresville" ... I'm still working. Our multitude of Vice-Presidents arrive tomorrow.  They leave on Thursday.  I am told I can go home to pack after they leave ... pray for me that all goes as plan ... I am hoping to leave on Saturday, 26-Aug after everything is packed and I've shut down my work.

ciao ciao
