Back to work! Today was good. I love the team...I really love working with them. There is so much crap to deal with but it's really worth it. Lunch with Jocelyn Tan visiting from Singers. Came home, had spinach and grilled pumpkin and awesome bread pudding! Thanks Kim. Reading The Hobbit, took a nap and now getting ready for bed. Tired.

Flew home early in the morning. In the cab to the airport we had only 45,650 Rupees and the meter rolled over to 46,000 Rupees 3 blocks away! Flight was OK, customs quick and Mort fired up on the first try! We had some banana leaf then bought groceries and went home for a long nap. I don't have a photo for today, so I leave you with nothing.

Trekked up Mt. Merapi today. Insane. 4 hours of near 45 degree angle scrambling in a dense fog. By the time we made it to the top (barely alive) the clouds cleared, and it was stunning. The climb down was murder and my legs are aching like hell. But at the end I realized how much I missed trekking. I want to go again tomorrow.

Rented a car today, and found that Indonesian drivers are way worse than Malaysians. We went to Borobudur and were blown away again by another amazing ruin in SE Asia. So many people asked us to be in photos with them, which was weird at first, but became a lot of fun after a while. I was also interviewed by a bunch of little kids for a school project. We had a good lunch at a stall, drove back and took a shower. Then went out for some beers, then pizza, then booked a hike for the next day. I went out to a pub when Kimbi when to bed at 10pm. Had a good time reading a book and talking to the bartender. After a while I started to notice the clientele as they trickled in and realized that the "Banana Club" catered to a very specific demographic. I hung out for a few more beers, and met a few cool people and rocked back home for a good nights rest.

Today we woke up at 4:30am and flew to Yokykarta, Indonesia. We checked into the hotel and started walking the city. We made our way to the sultan's palace, then the water temple, then to an artists shop where we learned about Wayang. We looked around, and even bought one. Took a rickshaw back and went for a swim. After the swim we went to watch a traditional ballet, which was fun. Food, home, sleep.

Tired today. Late night and bad sleep. Showed up late for work which is never fun. Made it through the day, had beers with Eric and came home to watch some TV. Packing for Indonesia tomorrow. Need sleep.

Had a great day at work. Solved some really difficult problems. Kim came for lunch and we ate at the smelly food court. Worked out, finished my book.
