the end has cometh for photos from a lovely country with unspeakable cuisine (notably excepting Padang food and family of hearty coto soups). my quad phDs in engineering allow me to calculate that an ideal country has a food::interestingness ratio that approaches one. if the ratio approaches infinity or zero, there's something amiss or the country in question is Canada (note: equation not applicable for countries neither interesting nor with bad food... sorry, the Philippines).

what the hell am i going on about? frankly, i can't be quite certain because i've not slept in 2 days ever since i bewilderlying woke up in a dumpster in the Banglapoo district of Bangkok... for the third time in 5 days. spun in a positive light, i enjoyed Indonesia and its people and i thank the local food for helping me shed 20 pounds off my buxom yet masculine physique. on a related note, i'm approximately two diseases away from my ideal weight for a 5 foot 1 inch male; i'll be 5'2" in august so send me a birthday card, y'all!

highlights in this issue include:

- Mt. Bromo, Java at the crack o' dawn
- Lake Toba, Sumatra
- if you haven't had enough Ramayang Epic performances, there's more in this episode
- no disease for my ailing body during this photographic time-period (exception: daily bloody stool)
- a lamp... yes, a plain lamp. that's a highlight in this set. suck it!
- the first of hopefully many, many time-lapse videos... following videos will necessarily be more interesting
