Rubber Time

They call it rubber time in Indonesia. If you tell someone not to do that, jangan jam koret, it means don't be late. But it's not like Mexico here to us. The people we've dealt with are not really on time - they're early. Our drivers, Nyoman and Ketut come thirty minutes early. I serve them something on the porch and they're happy to wait. Maybe we're just lucky. - dc
