Shopping Tips

Submitted by DCM Kristen Bauer

Jalan Surabaya: Caveat emptor as some of the

antiques are not that old and the starting price can be ten times too high but still the "go to" place to hunt for traditional coconut graters, vintage cheque writing machines and other collectibles.

Gem Market: Some people find it too smoky and crowded but there are good bargains on pearls and one could browse for hours looking for the perfect picture agate and other shiny objects.

Alun Alun: A tad pricey but a nice "one stop shop" for batik products and Indonesian handicrafts.

Bead Lady/Ibu Ekti: The copies of African trade beads made from recycled light bulbs and other glass and sourced from specialist villages in East Java are fascinating. Buy individual beads, design your own jewelry or ask Ibu Ekti for help. Be sure to call ahead to make sure she is in. Very reasonable prices.

Djody Art & Curio: Extensive selection of items on

Jalan Kebun Sirih Timur, many apparently from the owner's private collection. Tung's most promising source of vintage water buffalo paintings.

G&B Guitars/Pak Haryo Sasongko: The company is based in Jogjakarta but the founder, Pak Haryo, lives in Menteng Dalam and can be visited there. Beautiful hand painted batik guitars in both Fender Strat and Gibson-style models. Buy a traditional design or customize your own.

Medical Unit

NOTICE: SJHU is currently open on Wednesdays only. Monday and Friday . Monday and Friday clinics will hopefully resume mid August. Dates to be announced.

From the Med Unit Team– helping you maintain a healthy tour in Indonesia

ANNEX: Mon-Fri 07:00-16:00 SJHU: Mon 14:00-1700, Wed 14:30-17:00 & Fri 14:00-17:00 CHANCERY: Tues 09:00-11:00 & Thurs 09:00-11:00 (by appointment only)

Please schedule an appointment by calling (6221) 3435 9200

Know your AED! You may have noticed around your workplace, a big white box labelled AED. AED stands for Automat-ed External Defibrillator. An AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnosis cardiac arrhythmias associated with cardiac arrest (heart attack). If indicated, the AED can deliver an electric shock (defibrillation) which can hopefully revert a life threatening cardiac arrhythmia back to an effective rhythm.

The AED is designed to allow a volunteer responder without any necessary medical background to effectively use the device. The AED provides simple English commands on how to apply the defibrillation pads to a person who is not breathing. In the US Embassy buildings, the AED is kept in a protective white box on the wall. When the box is opened, or if the defibrillator is removed an alarm will sound. This alarm alerts the people around you that there is a potentially life threatening situation. The AED is used in conjunction with cardiac compressions. The Health Unit will be facilitating Basic Life Support short courses for AMER and FSN employees in the near future (Please keep an eye on the Cicak for dates). This course will provide you with how to assess whether a person requires

resuscitation, how to perform effective cardiac compressions and how apply the AED. If you are unsure if a situation requires an AED, do not hesitate to bring it to the scene of the life threatening incident. There is no consequence for sounding the alarm by opening the AED box. It is better to have it ready just in case! If you have used the AED (or its contents) please make sure you advise the Health Unit so that it can be checked and replaced for future use. It is important you know where the nearest AED to your work station is located. If you cannot locate the nearest AED, please contact the Health Unit.

What’s happening? Keeping you up to date with health promotion activities!

Southern Hemisphere Flu Campaign Don’t hesitate- get your flu shot now! Vaccination is available at all health units. Annex: Walk-ins for vaccinations available Monday-Friday from 08:30-12:00 and 13:00-1600.

‘I've been having second thoughts about quitting my job.’ How does the speaker feel about

quitting her job?

a) The speaker is firm about her decision.

b) The speaker has doubts about her decision.

The answer is b). To have second thoughts means to begin to have doubts; to question and re-examine a decision. Ex: I know we’ve already made the commitment to buy that house, but now I’m having second thoughts about it. Are you sure it was a wise decision? On second thought is used when you want to change a decision you have made. Ex: I'd like a cup of tea, please.

Actually, on second thought, I'll have a beer.

Which sentence is correct? a) Although his hard work, he failed the exam. b) Despite his hard work, he failed the exam. c) a & b

The answer is b). Don't use although or though in front of a noun phrase. Don't say, for example, 'Although his

poor health, he was always cheerful'.

Say: In spite of his poor health, he was always cheerful.

Or: Despite his poor health, he was always cheerful.
