We just arrived in Yogyarkta after a three-day trip to Singapore to arrange our Indonesian visas. We had a great time in Singapore. In this photo, she is checking out the goods at a bakery. Posted by Picasa

We spent the afternoon in Little India and visited the first of two Hindu Temples we would see on our trip (the second was in Chinatown).  Posted by Picasa

Yesterday morning we went to Chinatown for Dim Sum breakfast. We just stopped at the first place that looked decent and had a wonderful time. The staff was very patient and kindly explained all the dishes and suggested some to try.  Posted by Picasa


Here is our breakfast. We ordered too much food and the staff kept bringing us new things for the Baroness to try- fruit, chicken in sweet sauce and cucumber slices. She ate some sweet buns with bean curd, a custard tart, some cucumber and some fruit.  Posted by Picasa


She has a small set of plastic chopsticks that we took out at breakfast. She got some food in her mouth and now refuses to be feed by someone else using chopsticks. Posted by Picasa


People love to hold the Baroness. She is more of a novelty in Indonesia than Singapore, but she was the entertainent at breakfast. She wasn't digging the trip to the kitchen, but the staff had a blast. Posted by Picasa


They had two bins of live frogs, but they were only for lunch and dinner. Posted by Picasa


Outside a Hindu Temple in Chinatown. We watched a ceremony there. It was fascinating. Posted by Picasa
