Jakarta!

Ah, here at Jakarta. Did not know that it is soooo near the sea! On the last day 10th March 2006, we went to a beach called Achor! Apart form being the Moderator for two key note addresses at the Workshop, I have no more duty. Just visiting shops. Notice how congested Jakarta is!!!

Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, Indonesia

I went to Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, Indonesia for a WMO RA V Meeting on Agrometeorology. Mary decided to come along. Interesting places like the tunnel left by the Japanese and interesting Padang rice. The best were Ayam Pop and Deng Deng! 

Giant Chilies

These giant chilies were bought from the Malaysian Agriculture Research and Development Institute. They measured up to 10 inches. So I stuffed them with fish paste and others I made them into pickles stuffed with green papaya!
