About the blog

I’m an American writer living in Southeast Asia. “Bulek” (many different spellings) is Indonesian for white person or foreigner. My posts have followed our year and half based in Indonesia’s Aceh province, where I was based with my wife,  a development worker, as well as travels throughout the region. Our current port of call is Singapore. You can read all my print journalism by visiting the Story file.
