Indonesia is a country that most of us Americans have never learned much about. This is what made me pick this book in the first place. I wanted to know how people lived over there as well as what it looks like. Shivaji Das introduced me to a people and culture that are admirable in their way of life. They live in a land that is filled with poverty by most of the world's standards, yet they are an easy going happy people, who find joy in the simple things and do not allow their circumstance to dictate who they will be. Really love the vibrant descriptions of the forest, the lakes, the land and even the threatening volcanoes. This is written well and Das's humor is infectious.
