On Saturday, Leah and I went to town to pick up a few things we needed for the week.  One of those things included a birthday present for a teacher that was having a party on Sunday.  Neither Leah nor I knew this teacher that well so we had some difficulty figuring out what we should give her, until we walked by a lady selling plants.  "We should get her a plant," I practically screamed when I saw the stand.  First, though, we needed to buy a pot.  So we went to Ada Baru and I found a clay pot that probably weighed about 10 pounds.  I went up to pay for it and found out that it only cost 50,000 rupiah (or about $5).  I was very excited until I watched the lady at the checkout counter come back with a much larger clay pot that looked exactly like the one I was buying and put it in the bag with the clay pot I chose (I guess they were a matched set).  Between the two pots, they probably weighted about 25 pounds and I had bought groceries adding on another 10 pounds.  This doesn't sound like too big of a deal except I had to carry this over a half mile before making it home completely exhausted.  Needless to say, the next morning my arms were rather sore.  It was definitely what we call here an "Indo" experience.
