There was a funky air about that horse or something- my eyes got all red, and a frog got in my throat all of a sudden. Anyways, after some walking around, I just went back to my room. The brochure didn’t mention the open air karaoke bar across the alley, and I’ve never seen an open crack in the bottom of a bathtub like that before... I can hear my uncle saying “you get what you pay for…” (= ha ha. He’s right.

As I walked by a sidewalk stand with a tv tonight, I saw brief footage of the earthquake & tsunami which hit the southern coast of Java today,, but other than that- I really had no idea what was going on. Such a sad development for Indonesia! I think this is the 7th big natural disaster since the December 2004 tsunami.
