Once we got to the villages, the culinary customs started to get even stranger. Our first morning in the homestay, I was handed a plate of peanuts for breakfast. Legumes and instant coffee?

...morning of July 17, Zelko Peher was having breakfast on the 29th floor of the JW Marriott hotel in Jakarta when he heard a blast from downstairs.

From my usual table, I look across the city and fall in love with it all over again. Following breakfast, I like to browse at Own, tel: (32-2) 217 9571, a good designer store filled with new names like N. Hoolywood from Japan, Acne and Whyred from Sweden and Belgium's own Atelier 11. After shopping, I'll reward myself with a good French Bordeaux at a new wine bar in Ixelles, Le Petit Canon...
