Tomorow we head into Lesan. The last four days in Tanjung were not as productive in regards to documentary work as we had hoped. one of the days that we were suppose to have free to get stuff done turned into a meeting from 9am-4pm, with government officials and students from the Berau region. It was a very informative day, but extremely exhausting. By the end of the day we probably had upward of 100 photos taken of us by various camera phones, newspapers and journalists. The attention and exposure that we receive for simply being young and white is pretty incredible, and it reminds us all of the influence that we could have here.
Unfortunately, our busy schedules finally caught up to us, and many of us the spent the next two days in bed taking it easy.
So now it is off to Lesan for 4 days, then back to Tanjung Redeb for 24hours to edit our 3rd video log.
