After changing into our professional clothes and buying a few snacks, we got on our bus to head to IPEKA. When we arrived at IPEKA, we went to a conference room to hear about what their perspective on education is, where exactly their campuses are located, and what they're planning for the future. Then we split up into two groups and toured the school. This school was also in a high rise type building, I believe it was 6 stories, although unlike SPH in Karawaci (the other high rise school) they were able to have a pool, tennis courts, and other sports facilities located around the building. (Growing up in West Michigan I've never seen a school in a high rise, so I'm still trying to get used to this idea.) We went back to the conference room where they provided us lunch and we talked a bit more while we ate.

We then left IPEKA to head to our creambath appointments! We had to go in shifts, so we dropped some off at the salon and some went back to the hotel and went later. If you are ever in Indonesia, get a creambath! They wash your hair and put some stuff in it and massage your head, neck, shoulders, and arms. It felt amazing! Some of the girls also got manicures and/or pedicures. Ruwan and Professor Van Der Heide got their hair cut and Rachel got a perm. We all left the salon feeling wonderful and looking pretty good!
We picked up some people at the hotel and then we all headed out to dinner. We split up and had dinner wherever we wanted to eat. We had the rest of the night off and the group I ate with ended up at the mall riding a roller coaster and playing arcade games! We all enjoyed our free time and some of us made use of the time to write journals or go on the wifi, and then went to bed to prepare for our last day in Indonesia.
