Trying New Foods
We just had a few meetings in the morning. I was slowly seeing the differences between western and Indonesian culture. They would lose their internet connectivity throughout the day and they didn't seem to mind too much. Back in Sacramento we would have freaked out. Of course I started out the morning with a healthy breakfast of chocolate bars, cashews, and a Coke.

For lunch we went to a pretty nice restaurant in the downtown area called Dragon City. The most notable item was the vinegar soaked eggs. They didn't taste all that bad but I probably wouldn't eat them again unless dared. Dessert, which was Mango pudding, was interesting.

* Drunken Chicken w/chili sauce
* Tofu soup w/chili oil
* Spicy chicken w/chili sauce
* Duck eggs in vinegar
* Sweet and Sour chicken
* BBQ Chicken fried rice
* Mango pudding

Our host took us to a local mall to try what he called "spicy noodles". The food wasn't actually anything out of the ordinary but it was pretty good. It seemed a little bizarre to be eating at what was basically a food court in a mall when you are several thousand miles from home.

* Imperial Rolls
* Green beans w/peanuts
* Fried Chinese bread
* Spicy noodle w/chicken
