Wild, Potent and Beautiful

  • The Juanda airport, against the setting Surabaya sun and freshwater farms. Did you know that here, airports are called cities in the sky?
  • Where the language is an upped ante, caffeinated version of Bahasa Melayu
  • In Jakarta, where the local music scene is so alive, I realised what it means to have a local music scene that is alive
  • Where the little bookstore in Soekarno-Hatta yielded Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer, which I had been looking for
  • Avocado juice, with deep brown streaks and pools of chocolate sauce

Indonesia - aku gembira kita bisa berkenalan.

Avocado juice is yummy isn't it?

Jai's a minang-ian. The avocado drink u had - they call it 'air pokat'. Slot some free time and I'll bring you to an authentic nasi padang restaurant in KJ that serves that drink. Slightly pricey, but mostly worth it.
p/s: I just read your email on lunch. Sorry I missed it. Will have lunch with you again soon!
