# OUT & ABOUT in JAPAN # ... a VERY old looking fish!!


As I walked along the street at the Tsukiji Fish Markets one fine sunny morning recently, I stopped at a shop in front of me displaying an odd looking piece of wood!!  I got closer.  The wood seems to be some sort of carving.  Maybe the guy, who is standing beside the shop is a wood carver.  I get even closer.  But I was curious as to why a wood carver would have a shop in a fish market?!?!?

# WILD STORIES of ADVENTURE # ... Java, Indonesia



     We are on another bus,  but this driver is not like the crazy driver we had when we were in Sumatra!!  There is no need to feel that our lives will end soon. 

     Our destination is Jakata,  the capital of Indonesia.  Sumatra is wonderful and tropical, a world of difference as we enter the outskirts of Jakata.  We are famished!!  Starving, as we enter the bus terminal, our transition on our way to somewhere,

# WONKY ENGLISH # ... Dr. Spock's cousin, or just SPORTY??



     The size of the bike caught my eye as I wandered through the shops having a browse.  The tiny wheels ... they are so small!!  Then I saw it!!  The name!!  Out came my camera, I had to get this one!!
