My second day on the mission, trying to avoid visit Indonesian embassy.
Day one was fail I couldn't find parking and I got stomachache soon I reached the embassy :(
Today after my husband keep forcing me to do it, and he is also wondering why I keep avoiding going to my own embassy, he joke " don't you miss your Indonesian fellowship? "
I said "I keep asking you to drive me there, it's hard to find parking and I m not good interaction with too many people on the way from parking to the embassy its self, nice if you willing just drop me there."
And he ask me to call the embassy and made an appointment, I laugh so loud, whatttttttttt. ...I wish I can call, I can't even find the right phone numbers that someone would answer, I just need to find information on what exact need to bring for renewing Indonesian passport, or anything online..NOPE! I even asked my Indonesian friend, sadly seem none of them willing to tell me or knowing about renewing indonesian passport or just me being Acehnese don't have much Jakarta slang and no time for ARISAN or COFFEE MORNING or HIGHTTEA, I deserve this...Huhuhuhu. .... Anyway today i finally reach here, at 1pm and ofcoz it's close, open at 2 pm. Sweet and friendly Indonesian man around the parking lot, I swear. . 50% of them say hi to me and urge want to tell me, advice me or selling me something. ..? I don't know or they just been friendly, i just reply with a smile and say "it's ok I'm just gonna wait in over there, thank you for your kindness"
1.53pm waiting in front of the gate, yoooohoooo both gate are long Q! Hot and sweaty, oh did I mention it was fasting month. Hehehe.. i find out later, I am in the wrong gate Q.

I said no, I need to renew my passport. And I finally reach to the guy at the information counter, rrrrggghh he gave me wrong information, then I went to other Q place n the officer said go to counter 40 at level 1 (things might change due to the renovation or how many on that months Indonesian citizens in needs to go home, seasonal). And finally I am here at counter 40, i m not surprise.. no body here at 2.20pm.
