2012 is nearly over and 2013 is almost here. I will post more before 2013 but here is my year in photos.
January
Fireworks. Bali Beach on New Years Morning and at Central Park for Chinese new Year. A great way to start the new year
A flurry of all things English as Debenhams started selling Jubliee stuff at English prices. But made me feel proud.
Bali. Say no more
A sunset in my house
June. My birthday. A trip to Bandung to see the volcanoes and the month some thieving bastards broke into my house and took valuables, laptops, wedding rings and clothing. Bastards.
Happier times in July. I spent a week with my parents in Bali and I also married my partner and best friend Yovita.
August saw city tours and the peace and quiet of Idul Fitry hitting Jakarta. So I went to the zoo.
Birds on view at Pramuka Bird Market
Komodo Dragons at the Zoo and the ever helpful sign explaining where everything is, which is designed to be unhelpful.
And of course there is always room for a shot of Sudirman empty during Idul Fitry.

February. Moving to my first rented house in Mampang.
Skip to May as nothing really happened in the next 2 months. Well nothing it seemed I took photos of.
May
The Wellmen trying to sort the well out. They did, but it got worse and we eventually started to run out of water. Things got better once it rained but that was in October.

Bung Karno Stadium was also visited at 6am on a Sunday morning....
Nothing much happened in September, except smiley doughnuts and me riding into Pasar Baru twice a week for work.
October saw the return of mangoes and my wedding in the local paper in England.
November brought big rain and the nightmare of walking into a mall to find hundreds of Man Utd fans all chanting 'we're going to wembley' and 'glory glory Man Utd'. Wrong.
So then there was December. Hotels, Christmas, crazy floods and its not over yet...........
The Mulia.
Panoramic views from the Mulia and Millennium hotels respectively.
Gifts from Home and the Tree at Eastern Promise.
Floods.
There we go. a whole year in 30'ish pictures. Every picture a tale to tell and a memory to share or something like that.

Hi Luke,
Love this post and very nice how someone can be creative by getting all the moments of an year to a post :)
Once one of my friends said the best place he ever wanna go is Bali. I haven't been there, but seen wonderful scenery on the web.
As to him, You are most lucky to be there and experience ;)
You married in this year? :) Congratulations on your marriage. Now seems you don't wanna go back to England :)
Wishing you to have a Happy and Successful New Year :)
Cheers...
2012 must have been one of your most eventful years :).
Though I guess 2013 will beat that :).
By the way: a glorious '13 to the two and a half of you!
