Family Road Trip to Texas: "Stopping by the Waugh St. Bridge in Austin, Texas"

Image
 This is an account from 2012 (approximately), the first time I visited the Waugh street bridge was with my parents on our way to Austin for my a family wedding. Needless to say, the experience was long, but necessary. We drove for about 2 days, and spent about a week in the states overall. We left Canada from the border of Buffalo,  New York. We were travelling with a family car, sedan. nothing breath-taking, but quite relaxing and comfortable for the kind of drive we were doing. Nearly a decade later, my family (now including my wife) returned, only this time we were arriving in Austin to visit my Uncle and Aunt after the birth of their first son (figure 1and 2).

The Story of Kopi Luwak (Wiesel Coffee)

Dutch colonial rule during the 18th century was not just a fruitful time for the Dutch in the "East-indies", but also for the people of Indonesia thereafter. The Dutch were colonizing the west-indies when they realized that the land in Indonesia (Arabic Bean), would do well to be planted in Indonesia. The Dutch shipped Yemen's beans to the East Indies through the "East-Indies Trading Co." Soon thereafter, the plantations were scavenged by Luwak (Civet). The droppings of the jungle cat were found and noticeably a coffee bean. The processing of the fruit from around the Bean was easily absorbed into the body of the Luwak while the bean remind intact even after defecation. This was an extremely beneficial thing for local Indonesians as they were specifically instructed not to remove the beans from the plantation. Nothing was ever said about collecting them from the wild jungle, storing them and harvesting them to brew their own coffee. Upon eventually hearin...
