Every single day living here in Jakarta I see the unexpected, and think, 'THAT would make an amazing picture.' I want so much to be able to send a little taste of life in Indonesia to our friends and family in Canada, so you can experience it for yourselves.
Sometimes I see friends' photos on Facebook, and wish I could have caught that moment, or had the courage to stop and take that picture. I would love for our friends and family to see them.
So this blog post is filled with pictures I didn't take. A special thank you to my friends who let me share them with you.
This one's from Hillary's commute home from school in the morning. She's in a car, and there are so many motorcycles that she can't drive on her side of the road. (Photo: Hillary Burge)

Pak Didi, our favorite veggie vendor at the local market. The guy is a human calculator. (Photo: Naomi Geidel)
The stalls and bajaj stop just outside our complex. This is our neighborhood. (Photo: Hilary Bergen)

And to finish off, my personal favorite. Having a spare tire around your waist means something completely different in Jakarta. (Photo: Hillary Burge)
