First day in Jakarta, and things were sizling on the streets (and in our shoes).
I talk about the highs and lows of day 1 of the trip, and the strange theory that I have more energy and endurance than a 19yr old and 24yr old!! Yes, it’s hard to believe isn’t it?
The highlight of today was having dinner with my friend Jimmy (a singer), at Sushi Tei, in Plaza Indonesia. He’s as yummy as the food too

but, his skinny tooth-pick legs are NOT my cuppa tea. Even with those sparkly eyes he has.
hey mark. yep, i’ve had a few recent trips away ‘sendiri’ (alone; in bahasa indonesia). But… they get a bit boring too.
maybe if i was bonking hot men as i went, it wouldn’t be so boring? LOL
