Ah! Alaska!

Greetings from Alaska's Arctic! I have been busy working (and playing!) and it has been months since my last post. Thanks for visiting and saying hello, even though I am inconsistent and not a dedicated blogger like so many of you are. I do have many stories and photos to share with you, so come back soon :)

I am now in the arctic coast of Alaska, just 5 miles away from the Arctic Ocean. In polar bear country! Here, I experienced -65°F (with windchill, it feels like -85°F) and lived without the sun for too long...Summer is here (finally!) and I have been enjoying the continuous daylight (the sun never sets from May to August). The photo above was taken on summer solstice, about 200 miles south of where I live and work. In a couple weeks, I will be heading south once again for a new adventure.

  3. Hi kinako!

    Well, let me introduce myself.
    My name is Al, I'm Indonesian living in the US. Anyway, i discovered your blog after I accidentally looking for something in Bogor. I guess you traveled there not long time ago.

    Anyway, I envy you for living up there in Alaska. I always wanted to go there but I guess I have no guts to go there by myself. I hope we can be friend, so maybe i can visit you one day. I don't know when. when I have enough courage I guess.

    Ok, I guess you'll read this when you're online. I'll give you my email so we can get in contact
