You should totally read this blog posting because it is way cooler than the others

Dear sama-sama followers,
This is not your usual entry
BECAUSE...
it was written by graham (kirk and laura's son)

      To tell you the truth, life is pretty normal if you consider living 8000 miles away from what you know as home.  I don't know about you but Java is pretty different from Bozeman MT. The thing that surprises me the most is the fact that every javanese person doesn't have diabetes because the to most unhealthy (but delectable) foods I have ever seen (eaten) are in Java . They are called martabak and roti bakar . Roti bakar is a loaf of bread filled with your choice of cheese, chocolate, strawberry jam,  or peanut butter, or all of the above, and then fried in butter. Martabak tastes like a bar of butter filled with your choice of chocolate or cheese. Besides that most Javanese people eat like ants, not only eat like ants but with ants. What I mean is they eat tiny tiny portions (like ants) and everywhere you turn there will definitely be ants in your pants, especially when you have a cookie in your pocket. (Based on a true story.)
       That brings me to another problem. Ants. There are certainly more ants in Indonesia than there are people, and there are definitely a lot of people. Ants in Montana are little black things that you see on the sidewalk, but ants you see in Indonesia is like having 10,000,000 obnoxious little siblings crawling into your pants.  I am one.  I should know.
       Now why don't we stop insulting Indonesia and start complimenting it. Indonesia makes very good batik, some of which is very beautiful and some of which just doesn't really make any sense. And the other good thing about Indonesia is the money. In Indonesia, everything is so cheap. The really good ice cream cones are $1, and the regular ice cream cones are 60 cents. A bus to Semarang, an hour from Salatiga, only $1. A super awesome old Vespa, only $300. The only problem about this money is anything that is imported that you want is $10,000,000.
     To finish it off, I will just say the bed we borrowed from the neighbors, that I got to sleep in last night, was really comfortable.

The end

Don't worry, I'm not as weird as it sounds like I am.

  2. We did not see any ants in Bozeman today. But we did have hail. I think we all believe that hail is the new norm.
