This following post is well overdue due to the protest.
Indonesian village life:
Chickens everywhere. Sometimes playing games of chicken with motor traffic
5 minute trips turning to 20 minute ones. The extra 15 minutes comes from pulling over multiple times for chats because you just passed a friend or family member
Wood fire cooking
Motorcycles everywhere
Congested 4G mobile internet
Greeting almost everyone you pass by. Special emphasis on the elderly.
Well water. OR walking to fetch water from a nearby river or creek.
Burning rubbish (for waste disposal)
Use of water and leaves to clean yourself after shitting (no toilet paper)
Groups of kids asking passing truck and bus drivers to blow their (sometimes musical) horns, then cheering them on once they do.
More chickens everywhere.
Hallo! I is in JK and there are fewer chickens.
Are there also fewer ducks because you're there 🤔
acktually there was duck last night. It's really good food here :)
Definitely not jealous
HEHEHE
