The first time I ever left the country was to go live in Indonesia for a bit. They were soo many things, and it started the instant I got there. At the airport, I remember seeing a huge sign that said "Welcome to Indonesia! Death penalty for drug traffickers!". Also, the traffic was so wild in the taxi ride from the airport to my apartment. All the cars, horse carriages, 10 times as many mopeds/motorcycles as cars, bajais (tuk tuks), all weaving so chaotically I had to close my eyes.

Having a maid/cook, people who did our laundry, and finding out how common that was.

Having to bribe a cop for being out late at night with a guy (I'm a woman), but only having to give him the equivalent of like $5USD.

Everyone staring at me ALWAYS. Random people asking to take photos with me all the time 😆.

Haggling at basically every store/market except the fancier/chain ones.

Squat toilets. Also seeing shoe prints on standard toilets and signs telling people not to squat on those toilets.

Armed guards and metal detectors at most malls and hotels. Every time we'd come home our car would have to go through an armed security checkpoint and they'd check inside the car and open the trunk etc.

but you must feel a paper cut from every single page of knowledge

reminds me of salvia!

Gorgeous! How's the hike out to that spot? I really want to go there, but I'm kinda clumsy with an injured ankle so I'm wondering if I'd be able to do it.

Ohh, this is tough. I guessss they're:

  • Step Brothers

  • Jurassic Park

  • Wet Hot American Summer

  • Pulp Fiction

  • Evil Dead 2

ooh, good thought! guess you could upload books and print them in nano-sized font

Thanks so much! I live in the area, so the elevation shouldn't be too much of an issue...will definitely bring poles!

I'm interested in said business if you want to send a dm!

I think this is one of the best options possible!

I've been rewatching True Blood. I actually really dig the intro song but wonder how long it'd take before it started driving me crazy??

I'm so jumpy when I wake up, this would probably freak me out for a while ha.

finally, a win for me!
