  • After weeks of brutal adventures I decided to give Catarina something she deserves...but it didn't last long. Shortly after we flew to one of the most chaotic cities on earth, Jakarta. With the reputation as being one of the most polluted and crowded cites on earth I am sure we were in for more crazy adventures.

    The footage in and around Jakarta was pretty cool, especially when Ben and Cat entered that maze through little shops and people's living quarters. It would certainly be interesting living there. My 93 year old former boss and her family were from a little town in Northern Maine and moved to Jakarta sometime in the 1970's. When I worked for her she had all sorts of stories from when her Diplomat husband brought them all there to live for a few years.

(I forget the geographic location) Since then I have enjoyed seeing your adventures together, and it warms my heart to see you both happy together. I can see by the way that she looks at you Ben ….. you are in for trouble, my brother. (Luckily it’s the good kind of trouble, no worries.)

    This is so relatable brother! I travelled SEA for about six years and I know that pain. Once stayed in a hotel room where the room next door was literally been knocked down. I stayed across the road from a restaurant that was so loud that it was shaking the windows. And I lived next door to a hotel where for an entire week the owners thought it was acceptable to have their Buddhist funeral from 7:00 p.m. till 5:00 a.m. respect there traditions but I doubt the ancestors had martial amplifiers! 😂
