Village of Idiots

How there are 240 million Indonesians I have no idea. Today, after school, there was quite a rainstorm. Another tree on campus fell down- this time, over the back fence and across the road. Into overdrive went our bumblebees and Indonesian staff.

For some reason, I am unable to upload pictures to this blog, but let me tell you the situation.

Fallen tree
Electrical storm
20 Indonesian standing on the street.
Live electrical wires- 220 volts minimum. (But it's okay, they were coated in rubber)
Man, no shoes, with chainsaw, standing on aluminum ladder, ladder in puddle.
Man, with chainsaw, cutting large tree that has fallen over said live electrical lines.
Me, checking to see if my CPR is up to date.

Nobody was hurt. Phew!
