We've just come back last week from a lovely holiday in Indonesia.  I must admit I did miss my plants but I was certainly distracted by the wonderful variety of plants that grow in tropical climates.  I really loved seeing the abundant crops of rice. We even had the opportunity to walk along a rice paddy field to a waterfall @ Gunung Kawi which was just beautiful.


I also noticed that the Indonesians seemed to live a much more sustainable life than us.  Maybe as a developing country they need to, perhaps it is just what they will always do so, I hope so.  There were loads of Pisang (Banana) plants, Nanas (Pineapple), Kelapa (Coconut), Rice, Beans, Manggis (Mangosteen), Cassava and more I didn't know English names for.. basically though any piece of vacant land or road side will do.
