More thoughts/facts about Indonesia

Kraft Cheese singles that don't require refridgeration
Weird tasting Heinz ketchup from Singapore
Syncritism - Hindu mixed with Islam or Christianity
lanes on the road, but do they really mean anything?
tiny little packages of everything (most people buy only what they need for one day)
If you have to walk any farther than a few steps to get to the nearest warung (little shop)it's really too far away.
Guys wearing womens pants that are baggy on top and too short and tight on the bottom (yuck!)
Chicken flavoured Cheetos (only Aidan likes those)
A severe lack of proper storm drains so any time it rains, there's a flood on the road...
Watching really terrible english movies on TV, interspersed with 10 minutes of commercials every 10 minutes of film
movies for .50 CAD
Of course it might have been filmed illegally by someone sitting in a theater and then copied about a million times...
Really, really sweet tea
Fruity drinks with bits of black jelly floating in them (weird)
Really, really red hot dogs
No Tim Hortons timbits!!!!

Cheeze singles that don't need refridgeration ? must be like rubber ! yuck. Weird how so many products are the same yet made or produced differently in different countries.
How about them Canuks eh ! 4th overtime last night. Too late for me to stay up and watch so didn't find out till early this morning that they won. Big hype everywhere right now. Flags in car windows and stuff just like a few years ago. Be nice if they make it this time.

All sounds rather innnterresting??? Not my type of food but hey each to his own so they say. They probably think we have strange eating habits and weird looking food. The womens pants thing on the men...now that is..mmm I have no words. Maybe we could send you some Tims.
Have a good one. It is always interesting.
