Final Answer!!‏

Hello!
First of all, please appriciate this one as it is the second time i've typed it. arr.  Yesterday i used the internet, typed this email, attached and labeled 20 photos, went to send it and the internet wouldn't work.  Blast, i tried for 15 minutes and it wouldn't send so i had to abandon it.  Also the devil man at the internet place made me pay even though his computer wasn't working, i almost threw my water bottle in his face though i managed to restrain myself, barely.

Second of all, hahahahahah.  For anyone who's seen the photo of Rachael in the enormous barreling wave and thought it was real please look again; her hair is dry, she is calmly smiling and if you look closely she and the surfboard are actually floating in space, hahaha!  Sorry to anyone we tricked, it was just meant to be a joke!!

Thirdly, on to the next matter of business; multiple choice.  Turns out everyone knows me better then i know myself!  The most common guess, at a ratio of something like 10 to 1 was, 'E' all of the above, 'Final Answer'.  "shit" i thought upon reading everyone's guess, "that would have been an awesome answer, I wish I'd thought of that myself." ha
In actuality the real answer was, (disturbingly i know, that's why we walked out) 'C' dead puppies.  I almost vomited, who on earth runs a restaurant and wouldn't either feed the puppies some scraps or at least if your not going to keep them alive for gods sakes get the dead fly covered puppies off the floor of your establishment!!  SICK!!

Even sicker then that...so the dead puppy incident took place a week ago.  Since then all of us whom were there have boycotted 'Warung 29.'  That was until...last night three of us are strolling down the street looking forward to a hearty bowl of Bakso (a local meetball, noodle, veggie soup that fills you up for $0.65) oh-no, they are out! No more Bakso! What to do?  As it happens 'Warung 29' is next door, we are hungry and don't feel like walking any further.  Ignorring the boycott and better judgment i might add, we sit down.  The puppies are gone, the restaurant is full of people, things are looking good.  Then the guy next to us spits something into his hand and walks up to show the cook.  "This nail(as in an actual steel nail, not a finger nail, and an inch and a half long) was in my food" he says, while showing the nail to the cook.  The cook precedes to take it from him, flick it onto the floor and says "o sorry bout that" as he turns around to get back to work.
"How on earth does a nail get into someone's food other then if it is purposely put there?"
Mind you we chewed our meal very slowly!  
Our luck is holding, no nails and no one got sick!!

Thanks to everyone who ventured a guess!!  We love getting responses!!

We are back in 14 days!!!!

Sorry no photos, computers can't handle it.

mulit choice‏

Just a quick question?
What is the best way to get a hungry group of 8 surfers, all of whom have just recently met, to walk into your restaurant, go to sit down and then all simultaneously turn around and walk out.
a)have the bathroom toilet overflow and pump poo out into the restaurant
b)tell them its a locals restaurant and you don't serve tourists
c)have a dying mother dog on the floor surrounded by 2 barely living and 2 fly covered dead puppies
d)have the waiter so drunk that he projectile vomits on your table as your about to sit down

Give us a guess!

Deep Pitching Barrel!‏

Maybe they were just a fad when I was a kid but does anyone else remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” stories.

Turn to page 29 if you want to descend the latter in search of riches

Turn to page 41 if you want to climb the latter and follow Vicky

Last night I felt like I was in a twisted and disturbing version of one of those “Choose Your Own Adventures” where the reader has decided instead of just making  a singular selection to choose every option every time.

Turn to page 32 if you want your room to be filled with cob webs and the door to be rotting away to nothing

Turn to page 76 if you want your bed to be like a trampoline so when your wife rolls over you bounce into the air

He Choose Both!

Turn to page 98 if you want your food bag to be raided by a nosy pack of rats in the middle of the night

Turn to page 546 if you want to be attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes

Of course he choose both again

Turn to page 45 if you want the power to go out and the fan to quite

Turn to page 234 if you want the temperature in the room to get oppressively hot and to sweat to death

Yes yes, he choose both

Turn to page 12 if you want the local Mosque to start blaring prays at 4:30am

Turn to page 84 if you want the centipede bite you sustained on your elbow earlier in the day to flare up and keep you from sleeping

You guessed it he chose both

Needless to say, it was a long night

Check out Rachael's wave yesterday, holly shit, everyone on the beach went wild, twaz a sight to see!!!!

Peanut Dog Balls‏

What to write about when your playing pro surf bum?  Not much really happens day to day, we get up, surf, eat breakfast, surf, eat lunch, surf, eat dinner, go to bed, repeat!  Usually spending 6 hours a day in the water, seems like we might be sprouting gills sometime soon.

A couple of observational dog stories:
1.  Lots of stray dogs around, one which we see daily on our way to food market, has what would appear to be his testicles dangeling from the outside of his right leg.  I agree, that is absurd, how could one's testicles actually migrate?  I have no idea but there was no denying that testicle looking objects were infact hanging on the outside of this thigh.  Maybe some mad scientist crossed his DNA with that of a flounder, who knows?  
2.  Most of the stray dogs are actually quite cute dispite there severly malnurished state, as such at dinner we would throw them our chicken bones, (as a side note, mostly i actually did this for my own entertainment, the dogs would in one bite, snap the bone in half and in a flash of an instant later swallow both halfs with out chewing, something about the absurdity of swallowing a bown with out chewing made me giggle)
So one night we visit our regular 1.5 inch thick, chocolate and peanut filled pancake man and he down't have the correct change, he's 30cents short so fills up a bag of mysterious deep fried parcles.  Upon eating one they were actually filled with some sort of fruit filling and would probably actually be tasty when fresh, which they were not, that we didn't really care for them.  Lets fatten up our favorite stray dog we figure, finding him was not difficlut as he follows us around everywhere.  So we toss him one, expecting him to snatch it out of the air, as you'd think a stray dog wouuld do, before any other strays can steal it away.  But on the contrary it falls to the pavement at his feet, giving it a sniff he looks as us with a, "hey, what are you trying to do, poison me?" look.  I don't get it, arn't dogs supposed to be scavengers, can't they digest anything, our family dog used to eat among everything else, poop, rotten sausages, plastic bags, onions, chili peppers, peanutbutter, glass, 10W-30 motor oil, carrots and corn.  Wouldn't you think a starving street dog would eat a deep fried dough treat filled with fruit? Apparently not.  
This wasn't enough to make us give up though, we wanted to put a little beaf on our buddy.  
Ok so he wont eat them, neither would we, so i throw him a chunk of what was recieving our vote for the most delicous desert in Asia, the 1.5inch thick choco-peanut filled pancake.  Landing at his feet, he gives it the sniff test, no reaction!  I expect him to look up and bite us.  
Instead, he does the 'downward dog' (like yoga) and presses the side of his face against the warm delictable morsil and repeats the act with the other side of his face.  "What the hell?" we say looking at eachother.
Yet this is only the very beginning of what would appear to be some sort of bizare richualistic act.  A few seconds later he is upside down with his legs flopping a snapping in every direction, his neck is bent back so far it looks like it may snap, eyes rolled back in his head he is complety in another world.  For a while ther we actually thought he might be allergic to peanuts and was having a siesure.  But no, 30 seconds later he pops up, checks to make sure there are no rements for the other streeties, gives us a smile and trots off; happy as a street dog covered with peanut pancake!

O yes and some photos too, mostly motorbikes, not sure why but they are what we've taken pic of latley.
You can see the rest at our slide show party when we get back!

Wes goin surfin!!!!‏

Slap goes my face against the bottom of the wave, for the second time in a row, my right foot just sliding off the front of the board and the first thing to smack the water is the side of my face, ouch.  This mornings surf I caught 15 or so amazing waves and surfed them feeling like I was a pro, no falls or crashes.  Then what the hell is going on, I asked myself?  I can’t help but thinking maybe I accidentally stepped in some cooking oil, or laundry detergent with my right foot on my way into the surf, either that or the river letting out is real polluted with soap and that’s why my board is so slippery.  Though no one else seems to be pulling the stupid face smacking stunt I am so I doubt it. 

Out of the water walking back to the room, “hey Rachael, want one of these candy bars I’ve got in my pocket?”

Pulling them out the reason for my falls is obvious.  One of the wrappers is open and the dissolved oily candy bar is dripping out of my pick down my right leg all the way to my foot.

At least now I have something other then sheer clumsiness to blame.
