Yesterday in the flight, after being sorrounded by only Malays and Indonesian, where 95% of the passengers were such, I started detecting myself on thinking that some ladies were nice looking, and that some of them were indeed, very attractive. I assume this change is due to the familiarization to see other type of people, and due to the fact that all the people I have been dealing with, is so kind and nice. As a matter of fact, some of these girls are extremely flirty, smiling, staring directly to the eyes, and politely listening to what one says, answering back always with a sweet gesture. On the male side, it is the same, however between people from the same sex it is far less explicit. This behaviour must be part of their culture. It is nice, because the feeling of cordiality is so strong, and so comfortable, that makes the environment to look much more nicer.
In relation to the food, I have realized that my stomach is growing bigger. The food in this side of the world is so tasty and plentiful. There are so many varieties of spicies and combinations that is difficult not to enjoy any dish. In addition, if we join the different cultures, Chinese, Indian, Malay, Indonesian, we have a huge variety. And all tastes great!! I now understand why the people coming from this part of the world, insist on using their spices for cooking, specially when they are abroad.
I am now on my way to Jakarta, my plane leaves in 55 minutes and I am still sitting at my hotel room. Lets see how effective this transit hotel is, being located on the upper part of the departure gate.
