This following post is well overdue due to the protest.
Indonesian village life:
-
Chickens everywhere. Sometimes playing games of chicken with motor traffic
-
5 minute trips turning to 20 minute ones. The extra 15 minutes comes from pulling over multiple times for chats because you just passed a friend or family member
-
Wood fire cooking
-
Motorcycles everywhere
-
Congested 4G mobile internet
-
Greeting almost everyone you pass by. Special emphasis on the elderly.
-
Well water. OR walking to fetch water from a nearby river or creek.
-
Burning rubbish (for waste disposal)
-
Use of water and leaves to clean yourself after shitting (no toilet paper)
-
Groups of kids asking passing truck and bus drivers to blow their (sometimes musical) horns, then cheering them on once they do.
-
More chickens everywhere.
Which jacket should I wear tomorrow with a black sweater dress and probably black shoes but also possibly olive green boots. Haha. I'm going out straight after work and I can't decide.
