So this is a jackfruit...

Who knew fruit grew from the actual trunk?

Josh Squared drive becaks

What a cozy ride!
When I first saw this picture I thought surely that the boys had set up the accident and took the picture just for kicks. But in actuality, he most-definitely crashed the becak and one of our volunteers ended up on the ground. You can see how concerned our Indonesian friend was about Andrew's well-being. Yes, he is laughing his head off.
Yup, I just scrolled up and laughed once again. Every time. Never fails!

Luwak for dinner

We had a wonderful few days in the mountains of Bali. One of our stops was at a Kopi Bubuk warung (a special kind of coffee resto-type)

As we were leaving, we spotted this young man with a gun leaving the restaurant on a mission to kill- something. So.... Josh being the curious one he is, followed him with the camera. This is what be brought back up the steep mountain. It's a luwak and they're actually very famous for their choice of coffee beans. They eat the "best beans" and then yes, after they've been eaten, some poor soul chooses those beans from the luwak waste and the coffee sells for about $8 bucks a cup. DELISH!

But this Luwak was just going to be dinner! :) They're good to eat, according to this handsome Indonesian man. I love the picture Josh got!
