I attended the PATA seminar on Wed Nov 18, 2009 at Chef Chu in Los Altos. It was about 48 people in the small dining area on the second floor. The food was pretty yummy. It started with Chinese chicken salad, bun with duck meat, honey prawns, fried rice wrapped in lotus leaves, chicken curry, spicy garlic beef and steam veggie. The desert is almond pudding with canned fruits.
We watched the video Eye On The Bay which Brian took it when he went on vacation to Indonesia in March 2008. First he went to Borneo to see orang utan/gorilla then flew to Java to see the biggest Buddhist temple in the world Borobudur in central Java. On the way to the airport in Jakarta he forgot his camera so he had to go back to his apartment. By the time he got to the airport he missed his flight to Denpasar, Bali. After stand by for several hours with no luck a stranger approached him and asked him $400 for a ticket to Bali. All the flights were full due to the biggest holiday in Bali. Finally he was able to board the plane.
His video Hackney's Exotic Vacation you can find it at www.cbs5.com/eyeonthebay.
It is very interesting to watch especially for anybody who never been to Indonesia.
So sorry to have missed this program, I know Audrey had been working on it for several months and getting this guy to commit to a date was like pulling teeth. So when are you going to do a presentation for us on Indonesia?
