Let me list the ways in which I so love SE Asia.
And off to Flores I go!!
- Displayed in the front window of a religious clothing store; a mannequin, eloquently adorned in a shirt with bold letters stating only one word: "F**K"
- Rainy season. Sitting on the beach under the stars, drinking a beer that's way too big, and watching a lightening storm. While having the whole beach to myself.
- Waking up at 5am to watch the sunrise and once again, having the entire beach to myself.
- Due to waking up so early I also get the entire pool to myself. Silly party animals.
- Feral dogs. I love them. My new friends.
- I don't like the price, I want to pay less.
- "Oh! You speak Indonesian? Okay, then it costs less now."
- "Oh! You speak Indonesian? I'm not going to charge you for your surplus of overweight bags then."
- "The huge knife you stupidly forgot to take out of your carry on bag, yes, we will put it on an envelope and you can pick it up in the office on the other end."
- EVERYONE is sweating as much as I am.
And off to Flores I go!!
