Thanks Florence, I much appreciate the encouragement. It's been a hard ride in the tropics. Ian

Yay Ian the end is in sight and Cora is about to leave for Singapore!

Ian you are zooming along now. Almost a sprint to the finish as you roll through Riau. It won’t be long before you are feasting on Singapore Noodles.

Very true Ian. I just try to support small producers working outside the corporate system whenever I can.

Thanks John! It's not something I'd recommend.

John, I'm not sure you can avoid it. It's ubiquitous.

John, once again a bunch of comments I thoroughly enjoyed.

We'll have to go into the city to get Madakan Padang if you stay here on the way home. No Indonesian Warung in Newtown Ian.

You're not the first person to use that door Ian !

Looks like unfinished business to me Ian.

Thanks for reinforcing my vow to never consume palm oil Wal. Industrial agriculture is a catastrophe . . .

Hmmmm . . . Monoculture . . .

There's certainly a bit going on on the roof of the portico Ian !

A big day Ian. Well done !

The pointed ends are probably for ramming them into their final resting place . . .
