Update

So, after being in Indonesia now for six weeks I thought it would be time for a short update. Still, the things that surprised me when I first arrived here surprise me now. All the attention I get on the street is not less anoying, but I learn how to deal with it (mostly by just ignoring people who scream at me and responding to people who say 'hello miss' or something like that). At this moment I feel better being in Indonesia now that I am more used to the situation. I am better used to the noisyness, the heat and the habits and in this way it is also easier to be able to see the beautiful aspects of this country like the kindness of the people , their sincere interest in you as a foreigner and the beauty of nature over here. More and more I am starting to appreciate this country and enjoying my stay here.
