Some might have noticed I haven't been as active in the past week. I was busy packing up as my room rent ended on the 30 April and I have a flight on midnight 1 May. After a very long trip by plane (ironically, I was reading Airport on an airplane). I am finally back home. I'm going to have a long, well-deserved sleep tonight because I always find it hard to sleep on planes  I am reunited with my music cassettes and CDs, including one CD lost last year when stuff got packed for house renovations (I wasn't at home the last year I went back to Jakarta). I love my Played on Pepper cassette so I would be mad if it is gone, even though it is nowhere near mint. I remember really carefully straightening out a part of the tape that had gotten pulled out and crumpled by a faulty cassette player a few years back, but the damage sounds really obvious when played. I've also got some older (vintage?) comics, apparently. 6 of my uncle's Donald Duck comics dating back from 1989 to 1999. One Archie comic from 1991 completely missing its cover (although I remember what it looks like) and one from 1995 with multiple sellotape repairs. Sorry I'm rambling on this. It looks like I do miss them more than I realise. One of the first things I did was to play that cassette even though I can listen to that album on Spotify. This might help me not miss my coins so much until I return to Canada in September. |

Welcome back, so where are you now.
I hope you have locked your coins up good.

It was a routine flight after all. And like other long flights I had alone, I went up to visit the flight deck I had my coins locked in a suitcase and left them at a trusted family friend. I don't think they know I've got coins in there, so it should be no problem. |

September! Good Lord man, I don't know if I could do it. I could just see myself hearing change jingle as someone walks by, "Excuse me sir...I couldn't help but notice you're jingling. Would you mind if I had a look through your pocket?" Edited by CopperCastle

Glad to hear of the safe travels. As a note for the future, I know a coin store in Toronto, where you could leave your locked suitcase, and it would be completely safe (Metro Coin & Banknote, Jared Stapleton).
Perhaps you can have fun checking out the local coinage there for varieties and errors...

I'm not sure my mom will agree to that but it won't hurt to ask. Indonesian money is much different than Canadian. The quality of coins is very variable and a lot of the paper money is really dirty even though they've only circulated for a while. I've raided my sister's piggy bank anyway  |
