Title: A smile is the same in every language Caption: Walking through the market, we met many of the vendors who were surprised, yet happy to have us there. Though we experienced a language barrier, certain gestures and of course, a smile never alters in meaning.

Title: Fresh uncompromised
Caption: This picture shows a young woman cutting open a coconut that she would pass off to be shaved in a machine behind her. We witnessed the entire process and them purchased a bag of the freshest coconut you could possibly get. Freshness is not compromised in Indonesia for convenience. We used this fresh coconut to make our own coconut milk, which we used, for our Mangut Ikan as well as to steam rice in for a traditional coconut rice dish.

While many of the vendors were on chairs and had small tables, this woman chose to sit on the floor, and operating her business from lower down.
