We’ve just posted container shipping rates from Bali to Honolulu — here’s the link in case you missed it (like Google has been missing all our links the past couple of weeks):

Banana Leaf Furniture from Bali… MIA on Google.

I’ve just uploaded a blog post about banana leaf furniture to Indonesia Export’s News & Updates page… it’s got perfectly good information on it. It has a picture of bananleaf furniture. It has a video of banana leaf furniture but Google can’t find it.

Usually, after posting, it takes google (and the also rans) minutes… minutes, I tell you, to index the post. This time, nothing.

Very disappointing.

First Paragraph of the Jakarta Globe Story:

The common refrain of “things were better under Suharto” has been given credence in a new survey that shows the former strongman’s rule is widely preferred to the current civilian administration of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

The results of the poll, released on Sunday by Indo Barometer, showed that 40.9 percent of the 1,200 people surveyed believed that conditions were better under Suharto’s New Order regime, while only 22.8 percent believed otherwise.

This morning’s article in the Bali Post, however, has me thinking we’re racing at full speed backwards.

Smoking as a cancer cure? Exactly what is it you’re smoking?

Take a look and tell me what you think.

PS. Did you see what I did with assuming there? I crack myself up. Butt you already knew that.

Cute, funny little story at the Bali Times today: Four Held in Blue Eyes Disco Strip-Room Raid. There’s plenty in the article to amuse if you know Bali.

I read the Bali Times every morning and, if you’re interested in Bali, I respectfully suggest you do the same.

Unhappy meals: American doctors’ TV ad features a corpse holding a hamburger and the line ‘I was lovin’ it’. McDonald’s, which has thrived in the recession, isn’t laughing

I’ve had maybe two McDs meals in the past three years (and regretted each one) – not necessarily a ‘hater’ of the company but it’s kind of embarrassing for the species that we allowed the company to make so much money from selling rubbish wrapped up in greaseproof paper. We suck, we really do.

Here’s the video:

No patches. No gum. No toothpicks. No meditation tapes or self-hypnosis. Hoorah.
