JSP on a Tractor

She was country when country wasn't cool...

Colts Game in Indianapolis


At the Colts game over the holiday, tryouts were held for Dungey's replacement. Who do you think has the best statement making pointer finger at the post-game 'presser'?

Jeff's brother John, his nephew Thomas or Jeff himself?

Inauguration Break!







We interrupt our somewhat regularly scheduled blog to bring you pictures of our trip to DC for the historical inauguration of Barack Obama!

Big shout out to Andrea, for hosting a pre-inauguration dinner and letting us crash at her place.
Thanks to our friend, Amy in DC who scored us the tickets!
And yes, it was very cold in DC. Fortunately, 6 layers and hand/foot warmers kept us alive!

Bali Surf and Scuba

After years of talking about it, we finally got SCUBA certified in Bali. JSP overcame her fear of drowning and actually started to like SCUBA after the first open water dive. Here are some pics of our underwater adventures including some 'Nemo' fish, a barracuda, and a shipwreck site.

Jinstreme continues her overwater adventures with surfing in Kuta, a beginner spot in Bali.

Adventures in Bali, Indonesia





Here are some fun pics from our island tour of Bali-

A note about the Luwak coffee- it's the most expensive coffee in the world- at $50/cup. It's made by roasting the droppings of the Luwak, a type of weasel.




Jin Sun and the primates are friends again.

Singapore Nightlife

On our last night, we hung out at a Megaclub and danced to a salsa band and a Robert Palmer cover band. See below for the awesome video...watch closely for the jacket move.



Singapore Hawker Centers

Jin Sun couldn't get enough food in Singapore. Here we are at the Maxwell Hawker Center, made famous by Anthony Bourdain and his International Chicken Rice incident. Jeff had to try the Chicken Rice (a calorie explosion resulting from the rice cooking in the chicken fat- flavorful and oh so decadent)

Singapore Slings with Seetha

Here we are at the Raffles Hotel, home of the Singapore Sling. Yes, that's Jeff with the fruity Sling and JSP with the beer. Special guests include: Seetha, Vangtesh, Mahim, and Steve.

More than just Clinton in KL








We did see traditional tourist attractions like the Old Town Square and the Petronas towers. We were also lucky enough to catch a few unexpected treasures like Kenny Rogers Roasters and the world's smallest chickens- unrelated.
