Just boarded for Pangkalanbun, Borneo. This morning we woke up at 5, grabbed our bags, ate breakfast (rice and toast) and left the hotel. We got to drive through crazy Jakarta again. They have lots of chickens that I didn't seem to notice yesterday--small and scrawny chickens, not like the ones at home.
Airport security here is close to nothing. Put your bags through a scanner and you're good to go.
We flew from Jakarta to Semerang, had 3 hours there to sit and eat. I had/tried more rice, jackfruit (spicy), spicy green chili and hard boiled eggs. I also had "pulpy lemon juice" which is more or less pulpy lemonade. David and Cecile had funny coffee (Kopi) and there were some meat dishes as well--anorexic chicken, etc.
The plane I'm on now, you had to get on from outside, like in movies.
Side notes-
-Instead of toilet paper, theres a hose or a scoop
-They will only accept crisp American dollar bills from after 1996 for exchange
-It's rude to sit with your legs straight out if your toes are pointed to the ceiling, they should be pointed horizontally
-I need to get ready for lots of leeches (Dawn says you'll stop caring after 20 or so...we'll see)
Borneo-here we come!
