I got on a roll again, working on the computer, zipping out e-mails through the MSG (Marine Security Guard) guys on duty at the embassy, until 5am. It’s much easier to eat “sahur” when you haven’t gone to bed yet by 3am! Ha ha.

There’s always a creative way to live by the traditions & rules (= ha ha.

Oh! Before I forget, I almost fell out of my chair 2 nights ago, when I saw these commercials on TV. Brook & I were watching the Bali Bomb story on Discovery Channel,,, and sure enough, during the commercial breaks a series of imams (Muslim men well studied in the Koran who are sometimes regarded as community leaders) were selling “Top 1” brand motor oil! Can you top that??
Religious figures selling motor oil! I’ve seen it all now (=

I turned on the TV just to record them for you tonight. Sure enough- they’re playing over & over again. I wonder how cheesy this seems to my Indonesian friends.
There’s another typical “cigarette” commercial for you…

I just can’t get enough sarcasm out of me to describe it with any justice. Who thinks this stuff up?
