Well after a crazy week trying to pack up our lives and get out of LA and about 24 hours of travelling, Tracy and I finally made it to Jakarta. Immediately upon leaving the airport, I was struck by the fact that Jakarta is exactly like what I had read, a juxtoposition of rich and poor. There are definitely way more poor though. That said, everyone has been extremely friendly.
Tracy and I spent the first day just relaxing in the hotel, getting over jet lag and sampling some indonesian food. Yesterday however, we took a tour through some more rural areas south of the city. We visited a botanical garden, a tea plantation and a zoo featuring many indonesian animals. Tracy and I even got a couple of pics with some of the animals (check out the slide show).
It was a really fun day despite the fact that both us, particularly me, are dealing with some digestive issues (traveller's tummy). Next up Kalimantan (Borneo).

Tracy & Grizzly Adams - Looks amazing out there and the pics of the food are making me hungry. Keep them coming. Those of us still in reality need something to live vicariously though.

(While you're turnin' me
Every which way but loose
You turn me every which way but loose
Inside the fire's burnin' me

Every which way but loose

To turn me every which way but loose.)
