Computer down

Hey all, I'm just posting to let you know I'm still here. A while back, lightning hit the building I work at, and fried the power cord to my computer (which, thankfully, wasn't plugged into). So I haven't been able to get online much lately. I'll post some new pictures after I get back from holiday.

Merry Christmas!!!

Dragonfruit!!! And vacation news.

Ok, so I got a dragonfruit the other day, and was really cheap (about 50 cents, normally 4 or 5 times that) so I decided to take some pictures for you, since I'm sure most of you have never seen one before.

Yes, it is really that color naturally, inside and out. I would describe the texture as like a kiwi, maybe a little firmer, and really crunchy because of all the little seeds.

The flavor is very mild, a little hint of citrus, and maybe pear. Eat it with a spoon, and scoop all the goodness out!



So Christmas vacation is going to be a surfing holiday, I'm going to be staying at the Ombak Tujuh villas (7 waves) near Pelabuhan Ratu. For New Year's I'm going to Bandung for a few nights and staying with a friend/partying. Bye for now!

picture update 12/2

Hello, I have some pictures of recent stuff.

These are some Indonesian swimsuits. Notice the lycra jilbab, which affords the beachgoing Muslim woman maximum comfort, while preserving her modesty.


This hole was caused by the massive flooding a few weeks ago. Look at the second picture, it goes down about 2 feet.
