Oh Indonesia...

During new staff orientation we went to the grocery store with the new staff. As we were finishing up and walking back to the bus, we spotted this event taking place on the side of the road. Apparently, the tree was already dead and needed to come down. They had tied a rope around one part of the tree. A large crowd had gathered to help pull the rope and yank the tree down. Basically, they were spilling into the street and stopping traffic in the process. And I am pretty sure it was the event of the day for many people who were standing around watching. There has got to be an easier way. Can someone say chainsaw?

And then we ended the outing with a quick stop at this stand... for our favorite kelapa muda (coconut). Yummy!
