I am in Indonesia for two days on one of the nearby Riau Islands and out of my hotel window I have a nice view over the sea on my right but on my left I see this strange wall dotted with holes. As you might know, in Chinese culture, Bird's nests are considered a delicacy when prepared as a soup. All the holes pierced in this wall are simply there to accomodate the numerous birds that come to build their nest inside and the Indonesians are too happy to sell them a fortune over in Singapore. It must be quite a success as those concrete buildings are everywhere on all the surrounding islands.
