This following post is well overdue due to the protest.

Indonesian village life:

  • Chickens everywhere. Sometimes playing games of chicken with motor traffic

  • 5 minute trips turning to 20 minute ones. The extra 15 minutes comes from pulling over multiple times for chats because you just passed a friend or family member

  • Wood fire cooking

  • Motorcycles everywhere

  • Congested 4G mobile internet

  • Greeting almost everyone you pass by. Special emphasis on the elderly.

  • Well water. OR walking to fetch water from a nearby river or creek.

  • Burning rubbish (for waste disposal)

  • Use of water and leaves to clean yourself after shitting (no toilet paper)

  • Groups of kids asking passing truck and bus drivers to blow their (sometimes musical) horns, then cheering them on once they do.

  • More chickens everywhere.
