The coffee is good everywhere, although at Lembongan they also had Nescafé. As the kids say these days, fail.
Java had the best pisang goreng. As I mentioned in a previous post, their bananas taste brightly coloured - in fact, they look brightly coloured - and are almost sour.
Indonesia has tiny bananas!We had fresh guava juice.. my life is changed for the better. I also discovered manggis (mangosteen). Wow.
My favourite place was this little village in Java.
They farm cassava and corn, among other things. I didn't know until we went there that tapioca is made from cassava! We saw how they make cassava crackers (like prawn crackers). It's a highly manual, labour-intensive process.
This is the bank, apparently. Why aren't Australian bankers as cute?
That lady with the basket of cassava isn't wearing shoes.It was nice to be somewhere people don't have Internet. Or running water, I think.. -to wash her hands, our host got the water from a well.
One of my best holidays in a while. :)
