Dear para sahabat, saya akan tinggal lagi di Indonesia, mungkin dari Juni, jika semuanya lancar. Kali ini bukan di Makassar, tetapi di Jakarta. Ini kali keempat sebagai tenaga ahli JICA. Semoga kita bertemu dan bercanda kembali bersama-sama. Saya masih di Tokyo pada April-Mei.

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

Happy New Year !

I have been worked with several faces. I want to treasure the small things around me, each and every one of those ordinary things, while thinking about the future and the world, thinking deeply, and acting accordingly.

Early spring here at home, Tokyo.

Diving with Rahma.

Meet Rahma, the best divemaster I have ever been diving with.

Rahma is a 22-year young Muslim woman from a traditional fishing village called Warloka, about 45 min south of Labuan Bajo by boat.

Rahma is the youngest of three siblings, she has two older brothers. Her father is a fisherman. During the fishing season, he goes out to the open ocean, for a week at a time, in a small wooden boat to catch and earn enough to feed the family.

Rahma finished school aged 12. She didn’t go to high school as until recently there was no junior high school in Warloka.

Rahma’s mum died when she was twelve.

This not the end of Rahma’s story.

This is just the beginning.

Rahma is multilingual and speaks 5 languages fluently.

Rahma grew up speaking Bima – the local language in Warloka village, but by the age of 15 Rahma was also able to speak Bahasa Bajo and Bahasa Manggarai– other (completely different) local languages spoken in Komodo, as well Bahasa Indonesia (the national language).

In 2015 Scuba Junkie opened a diving resort in Warloka bay and started employing local people from Warloka village. Rahma’s uncle Latif got a job working on the boat. Rahma got a job as a housekeeper.

However, after two days Rahma moved to the kitchen and learned how to cook different dishes. She quickly started improving her English by talking to the guests staying at the resort.

In 2017 Scuba Junkie invited Rahma to go diving and do her first course 'discover diving'. In 2018 Rahma completed her Padi Open Water Course, Advanced, Rescue and Divemaster – all in one year. In 2019 she started working on the dive boats as a dive guide.

Rahma was my dive guide for three days on dive sites across Komodo national park. Effortless guiding me through strong currents, cancelling dives if the conditions are not safe and best of all – spotting and sharing interesting and unusual things underwater.

On the last day we headed south to some diving sites near Padar island. On the first two dives ‘Padar Bay’ and ‘Three Sisters’ Rahma spotted an octopus, two leaf scorpion fish, baby harlequin sweetlips, baby yellow boxfish, schools of pelagic fish, and a purple seahorse.

On the final dive of the day ‘Secret Garden’ – we hoped to see a Devil Ray. Rahma spotted three, a baby Peacock Mantis Shrimp, two more leaf scorpion fish and a swimming moray eel.

I thought the dive was over. I started swimming away from the reef. Then, I heard Rahma’s tank ‘cling’ as she tapped it once with her dive guide stick. I turned and looked out, and stared in disbelief. Time seemed to slow down.

Five metres out and swimming slowly towards us was a whale shark.

For just over a minute, bobbing ten meters out in the blue, it was just the three of us – the whale shark, me and Rahma – the young woman from Warloka, daughter of a fisherman and the best dive master I have ever been diving with.
