Tea Plantation



My Indonesian Heritage group organized a walking/hiking trip to a nearby tea plantation yesterday. It was wonderful to spend 3hrs walking outside, breathing in some fresh air while working up a sweat. The workers of the plantation get to live on the grounds while they are able to work. Thus, the little village is jam packed with young children. It's always so nice to meet local kids and put a smile on their face by something as simple as taking their picture and saying "hello". We had a nice local lunch at a nearby resort restaurant after our hike. Unfortunately the day ended on a sour note as I spent 4hrs in the car coming home - traffic everywhere! I think I'll stay away from that area for while - it's left me a bit scarred.
