I was first introduced to flypaper in Indonesia. The first time I saw it in action, the adhesive paper was already covered with dead and dying flies. I watched as a soon-to-be prisoner flew by with one of her legs grazing the sticky coating. I saw her place down another leg to help with pulling off the first.

Going from one of the most liberal places in America to one of the most conservative places in Indonesia has been a huge adjustment. And being on this fellowship has made me reconsider what it is I am doing here and my own desires for certainty.
