From Bandung to Jakarta

So here's our train trip down to Jakarta - had the privilege of riding w/ one of J's former Dalat teachers, Tommy Tompkins.


While we were in Bangkok our visa was supposed to get finished in time for us to pick it up but there was another delay so we decided to return to Indo...it could be days or months before it was ready. We'd already spent a couple days in Bandung (earlier post) & then headed to the capital (Jakarta) which is where we found out it was granted & were seriously in shock since this has been over 2 years in process!

So, we ran & got our pix taken Indo style (red background) - 'Lij was so cute letting J hold him in place for the shot. Afterwards we celebrated @ Chili's since the only one we know of in Indo is right around the corner from the guesthouse where we were staying. In the last pix J's trying to show the huge amount of cheese that was on the nachos he ordered & then explains w/ the video too. Is this normal in the U.S.? We were totally grossed out by the gobs of cheese & salt...shnasty!
