I had to laugh (and ++) ... I too have pages from my travel journals filled with diagrams and pseudocode that have popped into my head in unlikely places ... while curled up inside my tent on a rainy Alaska evening or doing things like taking an overnight bus ride to Istanbul ... but your dirt floor tribal home in Flores and sluggish net cafe in Vietnam remind me how much of the world I have yet to see. :-)
