Ojek-ing in Jakarta

This is Jakarta traffic on a normal day.
Brittany and I were in Jakarta to meet some friends.  We wanted to get somewhere fast so we took Ojeks.  You cannot tell from the picture but there is always a lot of traffic in Jakarta.  An Ojek is when you hop on the back of a random man's motorbike and he takes you down random side streets to get to your destination.  Then you pay him.  It is like taking a taxi but much faster.  As we were taking pictures in the middle of the road a man in a truck also wanted his picture taken.  I ran along side him to get the perfect shot.

Pool Time

I went to the school pool yesterday to work on my tan and to swim a little bit.  I wanted to take my lounge car with me.  I strapped it to the back of my bike with bungie cords and away I went.  I almost lost is a couple times so I had to stop on the side of the road and strap it back on.
I am now tan and ready to hit the sun and lake in Michigan.
