Jakarta, Indonesia Day 1
So my journey in Indonesia started super early. Which kinda sucked because of the jet lag; regardless however, learning the culture and the lifestyle in Indonesia is simply different and amazing. I’ve come to accept that most families have drivers and maids whereas when I was growing up, we had to be independent. Living in America, I’ve learned to embrace the independence and all the DIY projects.
So the first local thing Joshua gave me was American soda – wait what?! While the same in every aspect, the serving is really tiny.
Joshua took the time to show me around his area – Ancol Beach. We also took this opportunity to check out a place that he will be moving to soon. Let me just say that the house is beautiful and has lots of room for display toys! We then hit up the local super market by his pad for some local snacks and awesome goodies.
This is Budi. He is the co-owner of Plastic Culture. He has an amazing personality, extremely friendly, and super cool. Just like me, Budi enjoys food. I hope that next year that I will have tons of room in my belly for Budi’s food journey.
Asian fruits that we don’t have in the USA. The dip is a spicy peanut sauce.
Awesome local desserts.
Sari Asem Asli. It’s a drink. It was good.
