A few years ago I headed over to Malaysia to stay with my parents and while there it turned out that my freshman year roommate was going to be in Jakarta working on his doctorate, which focused on water purity. He asked if I want to travel there with him and help record his measurements. These are some pictures from that trip:

My friend is on the far right; the man sitting across from him is his main contact in Jakarta who was helping with the measurements; the group of girls had just finished school for the day and they come here to hang out and help with different projects.
I took this picture as my friend and I were BOTH on the back of a scooter being driven by a local; as we drove past someone a local on the street said something in bahasa and my friend laughed so I asked him and he said, "That man REALLY likes white people!"
