    Road Frustrations.

    Does it matter when the person was on the sidewalk and the motorcycle was the one speeding in the dark on the sidewalk?

    Road Frustrations.

    That means, if we're following the thread, you also think that " "these indonesians" can't measure up to the standards of good behaviors that are basically simple common courtesy?" Wow.... not only is it condescending to think that Indonesians are less capable than others, it's also oppressive...

    Road Frustrations.

    So you'd absolutely take the same stand after some person rides their motorcycle too fast at night without lights on the sidewalk hits and kills someone you know? Because you know, that's how things gets done here in Indonesia.

    Road Frustrations.

    You'd be okay if the locals think cannibalism is not bad behavior? You'd let the practice continue? What if someone you know was hit by a motorcycle while walking on the sidewalks of Indonesia at night while the motorcycle rider was doing 80km/hour with no lights? That's what they're used to...

    Road Frustrations.

    Some things, sure. Bad behaviors? No. There is a line somewhere between allowing cannibalism practices and letting people do as they wish on public roads. Now if the argument had been "let them create their own traffic and let the city have worse and worse reputation" then it would have been...

    Road Frustrations.

    Well you're the one who started it by saying "but if you tried that shit in the states good chance some one will pop a cap off in your azz." So let me get this straight, because we are not in our home countries, we have to accept any and all bad behaviors done by our host country's citizens? I...

    Road Frustrations.

    So their time is more valuable than mine? They can block my road just like that? Try that in the states and you'll get a ticket.

    Annoying expression in Indonesian?

    Nah... The only valid thing is how you did the problem. The excuse is only good to learn from, and that comes later after fixing the problem.

    Annoying expression in Indonesian?

    I believe the subtle difference here is not it's use in place of "because". It is the prevalent use when one wants to make an excuse for their mistakes This is the tone and the typical use that annoys the fudge out of me. Even people who have worked with me for a while and knows I don't need...

    A lot of rental housing for offer I find only has 1500W electricity is this normal

    Yes there is approximately 40% more capacity of installed power than the peak demand in Java. Pretty well known fact.

    A lot of rental housing for offer I find only has 1500W electricity is this normal

    No, no, this is very recent news that PLN is going to get away with the various levels of subscribed power for the unsubsidized rates. Which means from 900 Watts (if you don't fall under the poverty line) through 6,600 watts (I think) will all be treated the same and you'll have the same upper...

    Texas Church Shooting

    It is a never ending debate. Gun controls exist but not implemented properly causing these things to happen is one argument. Another side will say only total gun band will work. Yet another will argue for stronger gun control. Etc etc

    Fine dress shoes

    On a whim I bought some Mario minardi that fit well enough since the price was deeply discounted (less than 100usd total). Goodyear welt and decent enough upper materials. Let's see.... Just haven't had time to deal with Winston.

    BI Forbids Double Swiping of Cards

    Of course many of the vendors now just key in your card details manually rather than swipe it. Hey they're following the rules aren't they?
