It only took me 48 hours to get crabs in Indonesia.... hermit crabs, that is.

This morning our Indonesian buddy Tanto took Suraiya, Sarah, and I to the Sunday morning market nearby campus. Which is seemingly innocent enough...


Except we decided to pick up a little house warming gift for ourselves... a house pet. Or rather, pets...


....which Sarah immedately dropped....


And of course, they needed classy accommodations...


So we bought them a house. With a pool, umbrella, slide, and swing. Because we could. So, much to our program coordinaters' amusement, we are now sharing our house with three hermit crabs. I named mine Stroberi (the Indonesia word/spelling of "strawberry"). 

I think you can see why.

So we're just making ourselves at home in Yogyakarta! One hermit crab at a time...
