... would do two steps right, then forget what he was supposed to be doing, then would dart about the stage doing flips and cartwheels until he ran into the back of someone and would fall over. He was amazing. We thought &#8217;just like a baby monkey&#8217;! Anyway, think that&#8217;s enough cultural shows for a while. One&#8217;s enough really, but we&#8217;ve seen two now.<br><br>The next day we went to Borobudur stopping off at a monastery on the way. We took a few pictures there ...

... so busy looking out for more hotels that he'd failed to pay attention to the road. What a ****. "Look," I shouted as he took his seat, "just drive to the station!" "I go to station now," he replied. "Good, because you're really taking the **** with this you ****ing idiot!", was my eloquent reply.<br><br>Finally we stopped at the station. I absolutely leapt out of the death vehicle, finally free from imprisonment and the tyrannical ineptitude of the driver. He got out ...

... until sunset. At the end of our visit, Dean held a small thanksgiving ceremony and prayed to the goddess Shiva that he'd never have to set foot inside another bloody temple ever again! That evening, we went Dutch with Sebastian and Merelina on dinner on a candelit terrace overlooking the beautiful Shiva Temple and afterwards watched a performance of the Ramayana Ballet at an outdoor theatre with the floodlit temples as a backdrop. The ballet tells the ...

... and then when we placed our order asked me, &#8220;Where you from?&#8221; I said, &#8220;USA&#8221; as always, and she looked at me with a steely glint in her eye. She grimly said, &#8220;You look Vietnamese&#8221; and walked away. Hmmm. A backhanded compliment, perhaps? Many other folks have asked based on my looks and Hanan&#8217;s name. At the border crossing from Malaysia into Singapore, an immigration official asked Hanan what kind of name his was. He said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t ...

... dinner, I went back to buy them! I later realised my mistake and sold them to Tom, making a small loss.<br><br>[Tom: I didn't do much either on the Monday due to feeling a bit dodgy. The highlight of the day was playing in the mall arcade again (that's how entertaining a day it was). I got Harry-Pottered once more then proceeded to play catch with three local kids and a basketball. This reminded me of Seeds of Hope which was nice. Andy still failed on the basketball game ...

... and taking in the views and the spectacle of it all when a group of giddy girls showed up. They were trying not be noticed even though they were giggling their brains out at us. One came and sat down nonchalantly within a couple feet of Graham while her friend attempted to take a secretive picture. I just looked at them and smiled and motioned for them to all get in the picture and we would pose. So that's ...

I mean seriously, I saw these beautiful geometric fields just hanging on the side of the mountains as if defying gravity. as if farming wasnt hard enough ...

... Final Observations on Indonesia My first order of business on Feb 25 was to reduce some weight in my pack and ship some gifts and other things back home. I rode my bike down to the post office and watched as the post office employees masterfully packed up my things using a cardboard box one would find behind a Safeway and hand stitching rice bag as wrapping around the box. I then shipped the box by sea, the cheapest ...

... dove siamo?", "Mah, io penso che saro' russo, tu?", "Io voglio provare con il Sudamerica, Brasile credo". Tomomi invece e' l'archetipo della persona giapponese, quando sfodero quelle quattro parole di giapponese che mi ricordo, reagisce con il piu' classico degli "Ehhhh?!?"; quando mi chiede se mi e' piaciuto il suo Paese, rispondo "moltissimo" e lei di contro "arigato gozaimas" con un bell'inchino.

... body; she also became immortal and a magical permanent resident of the ocean ever since. Local folklore warns visitors not to wear the colour green, or the Queen will entice the wearer into the ocean to drown.
