a trek in java to find the great surfing beach, plengkung
on a the most pristine piece of beach that you can imagine(this is alongside a protected national park, ie no people) upon encountering a stream emptying itself out on this beach, I was intrigued to see it totally clogged with thongs I contemplated this at the time, and having seen what happens to garbage/compost in indonesia (it decomposes almost before your eyes which fits in with the cycle of fertility their land enjoys) I decided that the stream probably only eventually retained the less biodegradable of rubbish
