Sunday

 The Jakarta group went to an English church service that meets in a skyscraper in Central Jakarta.  After lunch at a Balinese restaurant, we drove several hours to meet up with the Bandung group.

The Bandung group attended an Indonesian Salvation Army church, and performed with their new friends in an angklung choir.  Angklung is a traditional instrument made from bamboo, with each person playing one note, similar to a handbell choir.
