What got me started on this rant was having to rope him in after the 3rd hour of driving around, and say “Ok,,, I’ve seen enough trees.” “But there are more up the road!” “Do they all look like these here?” “Yeah…” “Then I don’t need to see any more. Let’s go home.”

I found a haven of internet access & spent the rest of my time in Medan updating the website here. Ah! This is literally the 2nd place in all of Sumatra that I have found with wireless internet access. (after my hotel in Palembang). What a pain!
