Well i made it home yesterday haha, and i didnt even die one time! After the internet cafe yesterday, i met up with my mum and some of her friends at this bakso place (bakso is a soup with what are essentially indonesian meatballs. one of my more favorite foods i must say. along with sate , rendang , and gado-gado to name a few.). Then we had my moms friend's driver take us to find that damned computer game place. We eventually found it and played there for three hours! after my eyes started bleeding, we decided it was a good time to leave. We went back home and my mom took us out to dinner to get the famous fried chicken at Suharti's. I think they pressure cook it because you can eat the bones of the chicken. Not the bigger ones but the rib cage and all of he wing. Pretty nifty.
All we do on this trip is eat i swear. haha. if i dont come back 300 pounds heavier itll be a miracle. After dinner we went back home and slept.
This morning i finally did a mini workout and we went to the beach. We went to the south sea, however, which is a very treacherous place. treacherous as in you swim in the ocean, you die (i kid i kid...*cough*). Well it was a nice two hour driver from Jogjakarta and the beach we went to has sentimental value for my family. It is the place which we throw the family ashes into. Although we didnt swim in the water (seriously i was scared by just looking at the waves....but i get like that at home too so my word doesnt have much weight to it...), we were able to explore the tide pools. There was a lot of different colors and we got to see some sea urchins. I think i also saw a jellyfish with a sail just sitting there. pretty cool stuff. We also ate more food on that beach haha.
Well those were some good adventures for the day. Tomorrow we are supposed to leave for Semarang, which is my final destination on this trip (ill be staying there till the 25th of August). But we are trying to stay one more night in Jogja. Who knows whatll happen.

OF COURSE...ALL THE SUDDEN, ALL OF YOUR FAVORITE DISHES ARE CENTERED AROUND MEAT!!!
ReplyDeleteI HOPE YOU CATCH MALARIA AND DIE!!!
But first, I'd like my shotglass....
anywho...what games did you end up playing?? And maybe it's just weird, but I dont think i'd swim at that beach either...not because of the waves...but perhaps that's because your relatives have been laid to rest there....yeah, thats just a tiny bit weird to swim where they are "living" for the rest of eternity...haha
yeah, the jelly looks cool...looks like it could be a cool ship for the Protoss....haha
HAVE FUN!!! AND BE SAFE!!!
heart <3,

Did you stick your hands into the tide pools and disturb the ecosystems there? Maybe throw a starfish into the waiting jaws of a hungry seagull? Thats what your big bro would've done...
ReplyDeleteChicken bones for dinner...grosss. :) Is this switch to meat going to be permanent? Sounds like you're enjoying being an omnivore! The beach sounds cool; I love tidepools! Hope your last night isn't too crazy!
ReplyDeleteLook, just because i might have severely injured several eco-systems while promoting the existence of one other eco-system doesn't make me a bad guy...
ReplyDeleteand who knew the seagull was watching as i tried to save the starfish?!?!?! not my fault...
