"Lost traveler spends 13 years building resort in paradise" (in Indo)
I have mixed feelings about this docco on one hand im like, *rolls the eyes*, another naive bule arrives in Indonesia buys(leases) land and builds a resort.
And it doesn't help that through the docco when staying in Bali, he is always based in Canggu.
On the flip side, the dude had a dream and never gave up, and you have to respect him for that and that he learnt Bahasa Indo too.
No idea how he remained single for 13 years in Indo though, it would have been ten times cheaper and easier if he had an Indo partner.
Anyway still worth a watch

I hope the blue tarp isn’t a thing now. I can see the temporary convenience, but…..
Slow TV
Ballet of death.
Title is misleading and melodramatic but this is a job that’s out of the ordinary.
Champagne and oysters in the old west?

I found this interesting history.
ps. Not free but at the SeeSpew Hotel at Shorncliffe in the 90’s you could get a $2 lunch to fuel your day. Start of my shift work days in my 20’s. Hit em up full of choof at opening (after work) smash schooies for a few hours then bangers and mash, carrots and peas with gravy, then troddle off home for a sleep before catching the train back to work that night. Was fun a couple of days a week.
pps. Catholic Church bought the place as they had a big school next door.
ppps. and shut it down.
really enjoy the vids you post @seeds. gonna make these pork and beans at some stage (maybe with some sardines and french-fizz on the side).
Yeah I’m giving it a go too. I’m puzzled how such a simple recipe can taste good.
Would you eat this? I’m sure it’d taste good(goat is delicious)but it looks rank.
haha, the boodog goat would taste great, but yeh : P poor buggers need a pizza oven or large grill.. (it was like watching lego-men make, cook and eat a normal-size pork-sausage, using gristle pieces to warm their hands).
re pork and beans, going back to basics is very good, then you can adjust with little touches, rather than fistfulls of stuff. I remember the first meal I made that tasted like a 'real' meal, in a share house (we always ate pastas and stir-fry using EVERYTHING in the fridge, capsicum, cauli, broccoli, tomato, chicken, corn, sweet potato, drowned in soy or pasta sauce, and coriander or parsley):
I just fried beef strips in sesame oil, garnished with grated carrot, beansprouts and toasted peanuts. It was delish.
Indonesia is full of so many contradictions in so many different ways but this place takes the cake.
