-- Seeing flocks of ducks being herded along the roads to whichever paddy field is next due to get the quackers treatment

-- Eating pisang bakar with friends at Cafe Legend; jaffles, followed by apple and cinnamon pancakes, at that old standby, ViaVia; and an excellent vegetarian dinner back in the quiet, relaxing garden of Milas

-- Having highly original and delicious drinks at the quirky House of Raminten

-- Attending the opening of the ASEAN Studies Centre at Universitas Gajah Mada

-- Feeling totally out-of-place but fascinated at the neighbourhood women's "arisan" meeting

-- Having neighbours bring round a huge box of (goat-oriented) food as part of the celebration for the birth of their new baby

-- Watching Batas and Sang Pencerah, Indonesian movies about -- respectively -- life on the Indonesian/Malaysian border in Borneo and the founder of Muhammadiyah

-- Finally getting "Speedyfied" -- yes, we now have domestic wifi!
