uploaded the pictures again painstakingly just for my plentiful pictures, thin text attempt.
the destination
and the hour-long wait
on board the bus doomed
doomed to break down in the middle of nowhere that is
marooned, yet unfazed and just taking in the sights
hotel taman sari, like you can't read
home, yet not quite
the first of many black outs to come, on the first night no less



and of course - the ladies
our screening site
the aisle that i'd walk down everyday, each time with different partners no less
setting up the site for screening
i'm begging for forgiveness
nah, just sweeping the floor with my hands
nah, just sticking some tape on the floor
MANY PEOPLE
the aisle, not so blissfully empty this time though
and i wondered why i had a backache
thankfully then, for my partner
and then i got a headache
can't you tell?
filling in the patients' records at the end of the day
having lunch in shifts before heading abck to the trenches
de-briefing back at the hotel every night
the dull
the serious
but more often than not, the funny
slimming therapies are not all that safe
on the streets of kota serang on a bechak
better than the doomed bus
and for that matter, the limo
two less than bright beings cleaning their wounds after playing football barefooted on the streets on kota serang - the indonesians themselves wore shoes - it was that rough
jo's blister; i got off a little lighter
