Travel: Just another Bule with a Camera in Indonesia…

June 18, 2007

Alas! We had a day off! On Saturday I woke up early, had some breakfast, and headed for the town. It was just me, my camera, and a small Indonesian phrase book. It was nice. I mostly just cruised around, took some pictures, and tested out a few coffee shops. After a few hours, I [...]
