Thank you for your comment – feedback on things like layout is REALLY helpful, and I wish more people did it. The next-last post button HAS gone – I’ve put the archives back in the sidebar, though (when you’re reading a post), so hopefully that helps?! Let me know how you get on….

As a single mother, avid reader and aspiring traveler- I have seriously enjoyed your tales.(you are hilarious & witty & much more daring than I) I like the look of this new layout tremendously- but it seems to have lost the ability to travel from post to post chronologically. Am I totally missing where the “next” button moved or did it disappear completely? I was so sad to discover I may not be able to keep reading the way I have been!

Indonesia is a dangerous place to go! You get stuck, seriously… But I think in terms of unexplored frontiers, it has so much to offer. Can’t wait to see what you decide…

LOL! Ancient history indeed! You need to ask for Nyoman Mastra – he is still in charge and can rustle up anything and anyone in a heartbeat. You have got me seriously considering moving over from the Malaysian side of Borneo to the Indonesian side and just following your path (instead of going from Sabah to India which is what I thought I wanted to do!)

I went down yesterday, en route to a cremation. I asked the young guy who was laying out the offerings whether he was there when he built, and mentioned your name. He looked at me as if I was mad and said, “That was 1989…” 😉 They have some lovely books there, though, and it’s still going strong…

The Balinese language is more complicated than Japanese, one of the reasons I never learned it! Have you made it to Cinta yet?

Is that the Sari Organic farm? That looks lovely… And you totally should. We’ve been exploring the island quite a bit and the contrasts between the centre, the beaches, Ubud is phenomenal…

I have two friends who just left San Francisco to work at an organic farm in Ubud for a stint, and I’m dying to get over there myself after hearing what a blast they’ve been having.

We’ve planted it in the garden! You can buy fresh roots in the market place — looks like ginger root, only yellow — but they also eat the leaves here, which are hard to buy, so hopefully we’ll get some leaves from it. We’ve put it next to a pineapple top and will see what transpires…

Aw, thank you!
