Dog Stories

by Will Sanders on May 5th, 2010
I hugged my sister, a good hug to last another year.  I told her what a great time I had had with her kids, my nieces.  Little Emma had been following me around hollering “Bunka will Bunka Will” she couldn’t say Uncle.  And Lucy is three weeks old and I held her and woke up ... continue this adventure »

by Will Sanders on March 22nd, 2010
If you missed part one and two don’t worry, they don’t all depend on each other, they are all about skull caves and spiders with glowing eyes and indescribable beauty and rice fields and that sort of thing.  This is all about my time in a place called Tana Toraja in Sulewesi.  It is unlike ... continue this adventure »

A backpackers guide to visting the Tana Torajan dead PART ONE

by Will Sanders on January 7th, 2010
I told you about hell night.  I wanted that to be a short anecdote leading into the rest of this, but the tough time stories tend to stretch themselves. The next morning I slept in.  After letting the water run for more than ten minutes I gave up and made the best of a cold shower.  ... continue this adventure »

The Dead man at Papuma

by Will Sanders on November 25th, 2009
Here I am, mugging for the camera.  I didn’t know that I was standing over a cliff which over looked a dead man floating in the tide.   I had written so much here, it was all about my new town, Jember.  It was about how I am here for two months and it is a very ... continue this adventure »

Bali by bike

by Will Sanders on September 27th, 2009
You may want to internet a map of East Java for this, I can’t be bothered to stop to give directions, have to make good time, don’t you know. Actually, since writing this, Marcus has been kind enough to make a google map for us all to refer to.  Thanks a million, Marcus.  Here’s the link: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=116807996117912663230.00047af831e35b38ceb64&t=h&z=9 It ... continue this adventure »

Fourth of July on a mountain

by Will Sanders on August 24th, 2009
What the hell was I thinking?  Seriously, what in the hell was I thinking?  How did I ever get myself into this?   Why did I agree?  What am I, a moron? These were the demon questions which flew around my head like harpies on the first day of my cursed ascent of Welewrang and Arjuna.  We ... continue this adventure »

The couch looks like a lonely place to be

by Will Sanders on August 2nd, 2009
June became July and July went by at crazy speed, made me a bit dizzy.  I did a lot of stuff this past month, and I haven’t been writing.  One excuse is I have been busy, blah blah blah, another is that I was out living adventures and couldn’t be bothered to write,  but either ... continue this adventure »
