Since we arrived in Salatiga our yard has needed some work. A common way to take care of them around here is to hire a gardener. It sounds a lot more luxurious in an American context, but it is basically just a yard man. It is a good way to provide simple employment to the local economy and practice language as well. Today, when our gardener came to begin his work, he didn't waste time in scurrying up one of the trees in our backyard, barefoot, to take care of a few scraggly branches.
