Mountain of a Thousand Images
After a serious outbreak of food poisoning in Bali I managed to lift my head out of the loo for long enough to fly with the dubious 'Lion Air' to Yogyakarta in Java. I clung onto Caines arm for most of the journey as it felt like the pilot was trained to fly a Russian MIG 21 Fighter Jet and i'm sure at one point our McDonald Douglas 82 flew upside down.
We've spent a lot of time reading and relaxing by the pool in Yogya until I suddenly remember that I have no job and leg it to the internet cafe to check my mail and apply thrice more to the same schools that actually don't care they have no staff for January. Today we took a bus, hit our way through many people selling spinning tops and wooden spoons and climbed into the clouds to see Borobudur, Java's most unique and striking Buddhist monument, it is strangley beautiful and haunting. Many small school children begged us to have our pictures taken with them as though we were minor celebrities out of NOW magazine. There is very little Christmas Spirit in Yogya so we spent Christmas Eve Babe, in the drunk tank with a few expats with dipsomania humming Auld Land Syne to themselves and i don't think it was Cliff Richard version, "You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot, Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it’s our last!"
Tomorrow we fly over the mountains the beach and the sea, over the friends that we've known and those that we now know and those who we've yet to meet to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia "truly Asia" as our VISA for Indonesia has run out and they can not, will not, shall not renew it. Anyway, to both our families - We Wish You a Very Merry Christmas and hope that you're all enjoying la Queens Speech! 
Happy Christmas to both of you. Keep up the great blog!
