“I remember a couple of fun moments with Rick and Danielle. On one occasion, after smoking a lot of hashish, the sweetest thing happened. I was yawning and sort of stretching and, with my arms fully extended, a small bird flew down and landed on my index finger. What a bold move for such a little creature. And it just stayed for a long time. Any encounter like that is always one of those times when people either say or think, “Awwwww.”

“On one occasion, a young man said to me as I came out of the post office, “Hello, where are you going?” After the first couple of times actually telling people where I was going, I realized they didn’t want to know but were asking which country I was from. Everywhere I went in Indonesia it was the same. With their limited ability to speak English, that was what they came up with.”
