hello all!
I'm at the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture offices in Jakarta (Mon AM). I'm here for some meetings today, and I'll be at the FAO offices for some meetings in the afternoon. I'm off to Bandung on Wednesday AM. I'll be staying in Lembang, which is a town ~12km north of Bandung. Things are going well so far, and I'm not feeling too terribly jet-lagged. The mosque across the street that broadcasts morning prayers at 4AM doesn't help with that much, though. The imam changing in a hypnotic monotone isn't too bad, but I could do without the drums.
Jakarta is an incredibly dense city. I think official estimates are around 15 million people, and estimates that include 'unofficial' residents are even higher. The traffic on the way to the office this morning was something else. I am so glad that I don't have to drive. There are a zillion motorbikes that cut between the cars and zoom back & forth across the road, often with 2 adults & a kid on them. I would have a heart attack if I had to navigate the roads while watching out for them.
Well, I think it's about time for the meetings to get going, so I'll sign off. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to post some photos soon.
Hope you're all well.
