heh

So I had dinner tonight at a Japanese bar. A theme bar. What that means is that anytime anyone finished and left, the staff, Indonesians all of them, would yell, in unison, "thank you" in Japanese. "Domo Arigato!" I like to move stealthily, so when it was my time to go, I waited til everyone's back was turned and snuck out.

The economy is weird here. I bought a pair of Reeboks today for 350,000 Rupiah. Now, that's a real bargain at about $40... but compared to everything else here, that's phenomenally expensive. It's probably not that far removed from the average monthly salary.

Oh, here's something else random. A couple of nights ago I had a dream which among other things included one of my parents' cats, Jake, who died about 10 years ago. I have no idea how he made it into my dream, but in the dream I was scratching him behind the ears, and he was loving it, just like he always did.

there's a guy on BBC talking about coelcanths.
