I tried some “stir fried cried pork” the other day which sounded pretty strange (it might have been a typo I guess) but wasn’t actually very adventurous at all – it was tasty though. Eli tried some small baked spicy fishes in pandan leaves, and we have had some strange fruit juices too. But I think the durian ice cream tops all other experiences for me so far.

Great idea with the shoes question! We will start asking that … Happy New Year!

I got your blog from Eli’s conversation today. It was great to hear from him on Christmas day. It sounds like you are enjoying your adventure, and I am glad there are 3 of you sharing this experience and fending for yourselves. The ornate centuries old Budda temples must be impressive, and the strange mix of jungle / urban and technology. We have a historic park here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Fayette, that lasted only one generation and is an “old”village iron smelting town that had it hey day in the 1880’s. quite a different historical perspective. Keep us posted, and thanks for bringing your travel experience along for Eli and Cory. What is the most curious food you have tried so far? How long does the average person there have to work to be able to afford an average pair of shoes? i would say 3 to 4 hours here. My folks used to travel a lot and my dad always asked people that question to get a feel for the cost of living. I am sure you are good travelers and ambassadors.

Be curious and kind,

Brad (Eli’s dad)
