Surabaya
Umm, yesterday. I slept, sat, wrote, went to McDonalds. Shock horror. The meat was pretty thin – there’s no such thing as a quarter pounder. And the indonesians love it. Apparently Macca’s chicken is real good. There is a big plaza here that is real expensive, full of plush shops that the rich chinese go to. They seemed very excited over a huge television display of big screens and sourround sound music. Hideously expensive stuff. They seem to place more importance on a great T.V. and video than having a clean toilet. Twisted priorities if you ask me. There are heaps of Kentucky/California Fried Chicken places that get good patronage.
Went to the movies next. Liz would love this place. $4 is the most expensive movie theatre I’ve been. For that you get air-conditioned smoke free comfort. The seats are like lounge chairs, big soft and very comfortable, with armrests for both sides, no fighting the person next to you. Its great.
The television on the other hand is terrible, full of the worst american trash.
Last of all I went and played video games. You just have to sit down to draw a crowd. I guess they all want to see how good you are. They all took turns to challenge me on Street Fighter II. At only 14c a game for the expensive ones (7c for the cheapies) I was pretty happy I beat 6 of them in a row.
