Full of coffee beans

Although I slept reasonably well and for once didn't need coffee as a booster, I should have remembered that trying to start the day in an Indonesian office that you haven't been to for a while is always going to involve a ritual strong cup of coffee. Especially in Aceh Province, where it has to be said the coffee is excellent and a deserving prominent element of the local culture.

After my colleague had ensured I had received my caffeine injection and after the three bule had aroused attention of coffee shop patrons and staff, we put our heads down for the day.
