okay so we landed with a big bump bump, bang...at 8pm tonight...And first thing i did was go to the washroom after we landed and it was a squatty potty! i took a picture...
Then we went to gaja mada...a veritable palace of good food...and ate nasi chap chai and I had tea es jeruk!
I know no one understands most of these things but I just want you to know that Pontianak still smells like pontianak, and the roofs are still red, and when you go to a restaurant people still watch you eat...and they were burning their fields as we drove into town from the airport...oh and we passed the governors house, and all these buildings I remembered...
so right now I am smelling smokey pontianak and I am lovin it...
Now were at the New tribes guest house...which used to be Denny's house and the gong is still the same and we passed our old house...I fast-forwarded grade 9 in that old house! Oh the memories...Oh and the Mahkota...I am going to take a picture of it...
I'm in Indonesia!

Alrighty, so I'm DYING to see the pics you took. It has been 18 years since I've had those smells and sights. I google Pontianak on google earth, but it's not the same. Have a WONDERFUL time, and tell everyone I said hello.
oh mia...I wish I could be there. I love my homeland!!!
Bring back TONS of that dodol that A Jan bought and bring me back some dirt and some smelly rubber and a rambutan and some rebung, and some pakis, and as many books in INdonesian as you can, and some cheesy dangdut music...
