Ok, so last entry was about the random/funny things about this culture. Now I will post some random things that I love about this country and in no particular order. Enjoy!
-My white skin that might be considered "pasty" in my homeland is very much desired by Indonesians and I'm exotic! Yes, the woman whiten their skin here with all sorts of creams.
- McDonald's delivers
-I can buy movies for .80 cents
-Diet Coke is much better here than the States
-I tend to run late sometimes, but it's no big deal here, nothing ever starts on time (double-edged sword actually)
-I can eat a pretty decent meal of chicken and noodles for around $1
-People oriented culture instead of task-oriented (another double-edged sword)
-I can pay my bills at the ATM
-The malls have grocery stores
-When you visit someone, you always get something to drink
-When I use the language, I always get told, "Oh! You are so smart, you are already fluent." Doesn't matter if I said the shortest simplest Indonesian phrase. (what encouragers they are!)
-Kecap Manis: the most delicious condiment I have ever tasted. It's like sweet soy sauce...I had never truly lived until I came over here and tried it. Now I"m hooked, I eat it on everything.
