Ant Noodle Soup or Ali Bakso….

good morning. surfing today. town or country. take your pick!! see you in the water…

i have to say that my stomach is pretty strong. i can eat street food in third world countries with little problem. i say little because sometimes there is a problem. but i want to experience the lifestyle and the only way to do it is to live it… this is a street stand in the country side of indonesia. bakso is noodle soup and i wanted to try this one out so i stopped the car…

before i order, i always check for rats, roaches, and bugs. this time, there were just a few so it looked safe and clean… i tell the lady “satu bakso” which means one noodle soup please…

my favorite part is watching them prepare the food… ummm… looking good…

now to top it off with chicken balls… ummm… looking good….

this is the final product. it took 5 minutes and cost $1. i sat down, pulled out 2 dead ants, ate a bit, pulled out more ants, ate more, pulled out more ants, and ate it all, including drinking all the soup. i have to say that besides the 15 dead ants or so, it was delicious…. would i go back there again? oh yeah!!!

DOLPHIN SURFER….

good evening. south swell came in yesterday evening and is sticking around. north shore should be picking up tomorrow. light winds making for epic conditions around the island. sleeping early and dawn patrolling. see you in the water…

i packed up my board bag on the last day of my boat trip back on october 12th. it’s november 7th and i finally had time to open it. you want to try to smell my wetsuit and trunks? kusai….

i want to thank toda-san and takami-san for the awesome kikaida present from japan. this is going in my collection and i’m as happy as a 8 year old boy….

mason rose sent me an invitation for a party he’s throwing coming up on november 13th. it’s called THE VENUE and is on 1146 bethel street. i would love to go but i think i’m a little too old for that kind of event. if i walked in there and seen my nieces and nephews dancing, i would have a heart attack. i better stay home…. haha…

last, sophie sent me an email so i checked out her blog. i seen some pretty cool photos on there. this one caught my eye….
