A little late with the post today. Had a pretty busy morning - out delivering the NEWS. I even managed to do the whole zig-zag circle loop in 2 hours today, and stop by and see K to pick-up fresh milk.
So this is Jalan Mulawarman. My street. But quite a ways down the road on the way into town. Just before the curve and the dip in the road thing near the Sepinggan local market. (Balikpapan is almost all curves and little hilly bumps) I took the pic this morning on my zig-zag circle trip. What a great sky today. Big time BLUE. The construction in back is something that's been going on, out at the airport since we got here. No idea what it is - it's one of those "On Again - Off Again Projects" I think.
That funny little cart thing in the front - it's called a KAKI LIMA. These little carts are everywhere and sell all sorts of things. Mostly food or little snacks, weird coloured fruit drinks, newspapers, and a whole bunch of other stuff. So - KAKI LIMA. Well, if you add the guy that usually pushes it, that makes 5 feet. LIMA = 5. KAKI = foot/feet. 2 wheels + 2 feet (from the guy pushing) + one pole (at the front) = KAKI LIMA or 5 feet.
TODAY: Today in Balikpapan - well, just not sure yet. Anything can happen - just have to wait and see. (Maybe we'll watch SKATE CANADA this afternoon. Live from Ottawa - imagine that, it's on our TV! - WHOLLY!) Happy weekend everyone.
Good to Go!
