Indonesia : Game of Thrones

Except there aren't any games being played here...

and our Iron Throne isn't as impressive...

Street food: looks so good, hurts so bad

Coming to Indonesia, we recognized that we'd be exposed to a multitude of new experiences. New sights, sounds, smells, and perhaps most importantly...food. A trip to any new environment requires adjustment and unfortunately a few pains, but I never imagined the gastrointestinal salsa that my stomach would be doing so regularly. In fact, the second most popular drink on our trip (behind water) has been Pepto Bismol.

The calm before the storm.

While all foods pose the potential for upset tummies, the fresh fruits and veggies and tap water are a one way, debilitating trip to the toilet. It's like reliving the Red Wedding over and over again - except I didn't cry this much after seeing the Red Wedding. Some of our compatriots even caught and incubated an amoeba for a few days, spending some time getting intimate with their toilet. One of the blessings in disguise of travelling to the fish market was scaring us from ever again touching a fish, but I'll let you be the judge of what's safe and what's not.
