Heya Jeremy. My name is Chris and I live in San Miguel de Allende. Just wanted to give you a shout and am interested in connecting with groups and members on this site who are currently in Mexico. Saludos!

...actually the rupih has dropped like another 14% this week!! Maybe I should eat my words?

I think FX wise, Indonesia and Mexico may be in similar positions. The US$ has strengthened about 12% against the Rupiah this month... payment for imported goods is generall either in US$ or E depending on where its from.

In regards to Sulawesi, there is quite a lot of good quality Arabica coming out of South/Central Sulawesi and some out of the Mountains further to the North. Obviously Toraja is famous for the Arabica produced there- but there are a number of equally good, if not superior, sub origins as well. Interesting to meet someone who has a connection to here through family!

Hola, mucho gusto, aqui tienes un amigo en Tijuana para cuando quieras visitar, solo contactame. Como se llama tu cafe?, de donde eres?

Hola Jeremy
Hoy nos vimos en el taller de Etrusca y creo que no me reconociste. No es fácil cuando se trata de fotografías pero te reconocí por el nombre de tu gafete. ¿Irás mañana? Saludos

Hello Jeremy. It was a pleasure sharing last week's Belissimo coffee school classes with you and your lovely wife. I looked at your web site and am impressed. Buena Suerte on the prep and opening of your coffee house. Lucinda.
