"When I first saw it I couldn't believe that it was a supermarket!"

it all started in an Indian restaurant where i was having my lunch. a Japanese man walked in. he wanted to interview the Indian cooks present, but the owner of that restaurant directed the man to me saying something along the lines of "インド人じゃないけど、変な外人いるよ！ - he ain't Indian but he's a weird foreigner”and so he came to my table for a little chat.

he tells me he's a staff from a show going around the city asking foreign folks questions about what is strange about this city (Osaka). so i say two things that come to mind. first, super tamade. it's the bright lit building in the background of the picture. a supermarket that is lit up like vegas from far. a casino parlour of some sort i thought, but it was just your local good ol' grocery store with unbeatable low prices.

second, i told him that i once came across a vending machine in a certain part of town that sold canned curry rice priced at 100yen. comes out warm and with a plastic mini spoon attached. the restaurant owner comes by our table and hands the man the canned curry (i gave the owner two cans as a present the day i found it). blown away by it he asks if i tried it. the day i saw it i was curious and hungry. and to my surprise the curry rice was not too bad i told him. then a few weeks later at a ramen shop for lunch, i get several phone calls from friends telling me they're watching my face slapped on tv something about canned curry rice.

Yes, it is. I'm so moved that there are people out there who's still aware that Bali is a part of my country T-T.

Anyway, here's a photo of me and my little sister when our family visit a zoo in Batu some time ago:

Spoiler for I wasn't really ready at the time:

Yes. To be exact, it's an archipelago. Do you guys remember the islands of Sumatra and Borneo (Kalimantan)? Those are parts of Indonesia too (though in Borneo's case, 1/3 of it belongs to Malaysia).

The saddest thing is that it went down in the 1800s (correct my history if I am wrong) due to a single volcano.

If you refer to Krakatoa's eruption in 1883, then yes, it destroyed hundreds of cites in Sumatra and Java by the HUGE tsunami that the eruption caused. The islands themselves are remain intact. In fact, I live all my life in East Java.

The Krakatoa's eruption was SO powerful it destroyed the said volcano itself. Leaving a new volcano on its deathbed that's called Anak Krakatau in my local language which means Krakatoa Jr.

Maybe that's because I'm an Indonesian?
