This is where we went for lunch one day after being in the field. We all had goat sate which was cooked on the BBQ thing with the smoke coming from it. They were very delicious and I ate 17 compared to Amanda's 4.
A layer chicken (
ie lays eggs)
This was a combo farm where fish are being raised in the water below the broiler chickens. The chicken feces fall between the cracks into the water and the fish eat it. It is a great way to not only get rid of the feces, but to bring in some extra money with the fish.
This was our first day in Jakarta while viewing the slaughter facilities in the back allies. I don't think many white people came into this area because people were swarming around us wanting to get their picture taken with us. Amanda was the most popular as she was the most "
bule".
This was the slaughter area where the woman was dividing up all the chicken parts (their living quarters are above this area). As you can see in the background there are people walking around with shoes on. Out of the picture is where they cut the necks of the chickens and then boil them to make it easier to remove the feathers. After that, this lady gets them. Ryan filmed the entire process from walking chicken to chicken legs, so when we get back if any wants to see it they are more than welcome. She was incredibly quick as they would process 1000 chickens per day to satisfy Jakarta's consumption of 400,000 chickens per day.
This is
CIVAS, where we stayed for 2 weeks. We had a room on the second floor and that vehicle was our transportation during our time there.
This is a bus in
Bogor. There are 1000's of them and they are all different colours to indicate which route they take. They are hollowed out inside and have two benches running down both sides. It cost 2000 Rupiah (20 cents) to take the bus.
This was from our trip to the Safari. Amanda wanted to pose with an animal other than a monkey so this is what she got.
This is also from the Safari. We were driving by and throwing carrots into their mouths. It was kind of like the real life version of Hungry, Hungry Hippos.
This was on our drive up to the Safari. There were so many roadside places selling carrots for the animals that it was crazy.
This is from the Wildlife rehabilitation center. They threw a chicken in with the
croc and the chicken just kind of sat there looking around until this
croc exploded across the water. It tried to make an escape but I won't lie, it didn't work out very well for the chicken. Ryan also filmed this so you might want to check it out when we get home.
This was a bird from the wildlife center. It is a very dangerous bird and will attack if you enter the pen. It has massive claws on its feet and in my opinion looks
a lot like a dinosaur.
This was my attempt to cut my hair by myself. After this debacle, Amanda now helps me out. I didn't bring my regular buzzer and after that I really regretted not bringing it. I had to sport that hair cut for a week until it grew back.
This is from the very rich man's house that we got to visit. He lived up in the mountains and raised rams. He got his two favourite to fight for us.
This is my plug for the environment. The crop you can see is called a palm oil plant. Millions of acres of
rain forest in South East Asia have been destroyed to clear land for this plant. It is a very profitable plant for the farmer but devastating for the environment. Every country that we have been to has had these crops. Palm oil is found in many things such as food, soap and cosmetics. Next time you buy these things look at the
ingredients and don't buy it if it contains palm oil.
This is
Prambanan, a Hindu temple outside of
Yogyakarta. It is very impressive but was damaged by an earthquake a few years ago.
This is Borobudur, a
Buddhist temple (Also outside of
Yogyakarta). It is the largest temple of any kind in the Southern hemisphere.
This was the washroom over the canal that I wrote about. Kids were swimming just down from here and a lady was doing laundry while ducks were floating by.
This is from a duck farm. All the ducklings were piling against the screen waiting for the fish to be thrown over.
This was our toilet and shower at
CIVAS.
This is Amanda and I at a volcano that I can't remember the name of. This was our last day with
CIVAS.
This is at the Botanical Gardens in
Bogor. We were stopped by many people wanting to interview us just because we were "
Bule".
