This was my last meal out with the volunteers. It was somewhat marred by the fact that Rea's (3rd from left) ipad had been stolen earlier in the day. We arrived and thought we had booked into the place over the road but there was not enough room so we crossed over to the place in the photo. - Owned by the same people: in fact just an extension of the other place.- But it only served fish and some wanted chicken. So we went back and were sent over the road again to be sent back to the place opposite where some masakan padang style dishes had been laid out. So those who wanted fish went and ordered it off the slab outside and finally we settled down to eat. There is a new Indonesian vol from Jakarta -4th from left - whose name I can't remember and next to her is Selina the new Education and House manager. The Indonesian man is a gardener from Willie Smits's house in Tomohon who is doing some work around the Lodge. Meme was with us
too but he seems to have disappeared from the picture

Naturally we had the lights and music on as we drove home. I like the picture bekow as it looks so much more disco than minibus. The girl in the foreground is Anna, the vol with an extraordinary slow drawl. Someone said she had the ideal voice for a presenter on a very late night radio show.
Since I arrived there have been several voices I won't easily forget.
Marie whose voice kept reminding me of Dr Zoidberg.
Stephanie a very nice young Indonesian vol everyone liked, except for the fact she had taken squeakycute to an almost impossible extreme. Her favourite phrase for almost everything was, That's funeeeeee!!
And of course, Anna. Can….you…..pass…the….pea…nut….but…ter…ple..eez?

Here we have an example of a Dawkins meme. The British WW2 poster that has suddelny swept the world and is even being used as a political poster for the PDI (Partai Demokratik Indonesia).
PDI also have a fearsome bull as their symbol, and I like the design with the bull and Jokowi.
Better than our rather tepid election posters, but it would not really work with the face of a Cameron or Miliband.
