Thank you all for the wonderfully unfunny posts. I've just enjoyed Nasi maguluring for makan pagi - maybe my last as I'm waiting on an air Asia flight to Jogjakarta . Stayed at an $18 per night losmen last night. It had a pool - roughly the size of my dining table

Anytime ... I presume, then, that Uncle Bitter is not The Man from UNCLE? And perhaps you have the world's biggest dining table?

Sheer luxury I say! You lucky ba*tard!

Heaven help the rickshaw driver.

Is it legal there to whip a rickshaw driver like a racehorse? We'll soon see.

The law is an a.s.s they say and can be bought just as easily.

I would expect it is all a matter of discretion for our intrepid correspondent .

If the pace was fair enough he is likely to be kind and merely bark orders.

I think the Palanquin has been outlawed but I know Bitters was lobbying the Indos to bring it back.

The addition of the wheel would be of great relief the guy doing the monumental Task of moving Bbo post diet failure,from eatery to eatery ,like a grotesque, sweating sloth.

Say a tidak tahu kata ini.

Air Asia did the business and I am safely in Yogyakarta and being venerated by the locals. Enjoyed soto ayam for lunch today and washed it down with several bintang. Just wandered around Jogya''s red light district. It is pretty tame but the beer was icy cold. I knocked a blind old beggar lady over but otherwise no real entertainment

BTW Don't think less of me because of the old lady. There is a campaign against begging ATM , so I was actually undertaking a civic duty

The girl who attempted to give me a foot massage and pedicure used a similar description before taking Ill

Just the thought of it is making me ill.

Well, in fairness, how was I to know it was the girl's first experience of a chronic fungal infection?

Thanks for the offer Jizz but it would need a Richter scale shot. Nothing like a tropical climate to get the best out of a bit of fungus.

Well you could have asked her first.

Wajahmu sangat cantik sekali BBO, for those who don't understand, I said, you have a very pretty face BBO

Well you could have asked her first.

I have to say I've never considered that line as a conversation starter!

"Hi, my name's Uncle Bitter, are you familiar with fungal infections?"

I think it needs a bit of work Red - perhaps some advice from Lothario?

My sources tell me that BBO may be doing a Kurtz some time soon. He is getting [censored] in the tropical lowlands so far as we all know but his real mission is to go up river to engage the tribes and who knows what from there as he goes into the "Heart of Darkness". Oh the horror! He is a long way from Romsey that is all I will say.

I hate to do it but I must be serious for once.

Today I had the pleasure of visiting two Islamic Indonesian families. One was an older couple who had their daughter , husband and three kids living with them The other were a younger couple with 3 kids who had developed an agricultural business from scratch .

I visited them because I know a relative in Australia.

Their hospitality was warm and generous. We discussed ( with some language limitations) a variety of topics. like us they aspire to a good life for themselves and a better one for their children.

They practise their religion but were unconcerned by my lack of it. They were appalled by recent events in the world. I have Been to Indonesia a number of times and find this attitude to be typical.

I just wish more people had the opportunity to see everyday Indonesian people in their own home

It is every day people who abuse Muslim women on Melbourne trains. It is everyday people who swear at and vilify islander bus drivers. I am not naive to the reality of politics. My point is if every day people were a little more understanding to the fact that, if one looks,one will find common aims, desires and beliefs then they may be slower to stereotype.

You are correct on one point Jizz- I did guzzle beyond reasonable limits last night and an only just emerging from the fog.

Actually it was a warung and the grizzled old girl who ran it had a profitable sideline. Young guys would choose a bottled alcoholic drink which would then be dispensed into a soft drink bottle. They then head off on their motor bikes.

nah moonie, i think he has just gone troppo and probably morphing into a human being or ubermenschen

i'm sure the lads will knock it out of him and he'll return to normal when he's back in hayseedland
