The Milk Man

I have found that I have easily transitioned out of Indonesia's morning culture to urban night life.  I'm back to waking up after 7 again.

A carton of milk is delivered to the door step in the morning.  Breakfast has been German corn flakes with Australian honey and Chinese milk - quite delicious! 

We've had a few nights of sporadic fireworks.  One full show was just across the river!  Ahh the perks of being on the 19th floor!

Yesterday, we drove about an hour to Suzhou and visited The Tiger Hill. 
Lunch was in an old traditional building.   Super delicious food!   Robin helped me find some fresh tea for a decent price. 
And then we were off to the Humble Administrator's Garden.  The rock sculptures are life size and inviting.  Some walk ways led to rock formations where you could climb in, through and up them! 
We visited the plant where Chinese Pringles cans are made.  We even got a tour of the factory and a sample.

I'm definitely enjoying the drinks:
Mango, apple, banana juice
soursop juice
dragon fruit and pear juice
fresh green tea (leaves were picked April 5 for tea on May 5)
hot milk tea

Today, we're going downstairs to the coffee shop in the apartment complex.  How convenient!
