- We’re back in Kuta Lombok, trying to plan the rest of our trip. When I’m (Synnøve) sitting on my computer, this little kid showes up and wants to sell me bracelets. «No thank you», I say, trying not to encourage kids to be working. «Ok, he says», and sits down by my side. «Where are you from, miss?» «Norway», I reply. «Oslo!» «Yes! Ok, what’s the capital of Sweden, young man?» «Stockholm! And Denmark is Copenhagen! And Finland is Helsinki! And Germany is Berlin!» «Wow! Ok, what’s the capital of…. Argentina?» «Bueno Aires! And Equador is Quito! And Mexico is Mexico City! And Bolivia is La Paz! And Peru is Lima!» And the little boy goes on and on until we’ve covered basically the whole world.

- Our Couchsurfing host Victor has a monkey. «She’s in a bad mood today», he said, «she’s attacking me with her shit!» Maybe she didn’t like visitors or being stuck to the tree.
