    YOU shall not pass.

    I would love to explain my idea but only to someone who will listen and is willing to try it out. If they are not willing to listen/try why should I waste my time on changing the world for the better. Sadly it is very rare they listen to anybody else except themselves.

    You have to understand this is purely a discussion, right? Ok let's get to you dead corpse rainy-stormy day, guest fainting gordian-knot problem. My thinking is simple, put a decent size military tent on that hand ball court, this will give you plenty of oxygen and a good volume of space...

    YOU shall not pass.

    I guess we should ask this question so some Indonesians who lived abroad: Which one do you prefer "western" public road culture or "indonesian" one? I am very curious of all the answers.

    Food for thought
