Lydia’s COTIM friend, Monica, is here for a quick 2-day visit before launching up to East Kalimantan & Sumatra for research. She’s Italian/German (raised in Milan), but had been living in the states long enough to learn Indonesian from English. (= dizzying. Nice girl. So the 4 of us went out for dinner at Koi restaurant,,, which is the first resto-furniture store I’ve ever experienced. Great food actually! I’ll definitely come back to this place. I think you can buy your table after using it. (= ha ha! Hmmm. “I’ll take table #7 please… take it home I mean.”
