Two days in The Big Durian - Jakarta
The eighth flight of my trip took me from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta, on
the western shoulder of Java. Once again, I was travelling further
from home than ever before and across the equator for the very first
time. Awaiting me was the thick heat of winter in the fourth most populous
country on earth, spread across an archipelago of more than 17,000

Zoe's Rant about Racism
... to put up with a mother and her 3 girls staring at us and pointing!! It’s just so incredibly rude!
In the West we’ve had such a mish-mash of cultures for so long we’ve had to become tolerant of each other (and I know it wasn’t exactly a smooth road for us) but it’s about time Asian countries did the same! We don’t point at people and shout “foreigner” or think its OK ...
