Sanity
To keep ourselves occupied, we had to make a few adjustments to our lives. First, we found a kitten in the street and decided to nurse it back to health. Then we bought a motorbike so we could take trips around town more easily. This really opens up our possibilities to explore on the weekends.

He's growing big and healthy now, and he
loves to be outside. |

All of the malls have things for kids to ride around on.

We found BagelBagel in Jakarta, maybe the only place to

We took a ride down to the next city south of us. It was a little more than an hour drive. It turns out that there is literally no way to escape traffic on this island. The drive wasn't so bad though, and when we got there we got to relax. There is a huge botanical garden in the middle of town that was created by the Dutch a few centuries back. They used it to experiment with and develop cash crops like tobacco, spices, and coffee. It has an amazing diversity: there are hundreds of species of palm trees among many other things.
