Indonesia Trip – preface
Well, after telling everyone at work and various friends about our trip, I realized that it’s really best to start at the beginning and talk about the interesting things I noticed on that day… That being said, there are some large sweeping generalizations that need to be addressed about the trip and traveling in general.
