Indonesians, like most of the rest of the world, are crazy about soccer. It so happens that a team from Jayapura, belonging to (maybe) the highest league in the country, also happens to be one of the best teams in the country. The people here are fiercly proud of their teams. Today a couple dump trucks and a bus showed up on our corner and picked up loads of people from our area so they could go to Jayapura to watch the game and cheer on their team. They were playing a team from Java. The drive to Jayapura is extremely winding as it follows the shore of Lake Sentani and then the coast of the ocean. The road is basically carved out of the hillside. There are only two lanes; well, in theory that is... It is not uncommon to see a dump truck passing a car going while going uphill.... I know that if given a free ride to a game in the back of a dump truck.... I WOULD NOT take it...
Then you have Marc, pretending to be driving a hotwheel car in our back yard...
