Reasons why you, (your name here), should visit us in Indonesia
10. All in all, it really isn’t that expensive. Sure, the airfare is a bit hefty, but once you get here, you’re golden. International five-star hotels and resorts at slummy Motel Crapola prices? Done. Want some souvenirs? Allow us to bargain in Indonesian for you. Murah sekali!
9. We can introduce you to our favorite tasty Indonesian foods. Afterwards, if you decide nasi goreng or sate ayam isn’t your thing, our cat Beans will be happy to catch, kill and pre-chew a gecko for you.
8. Our maid will do your laundry and iron it. All of it. Yes, your underwear and socks, too.
7. You’ll have the fun of telling people at home where you went and having them ask silly questions like, “OHMYGOD weren’t you SO SCARED?!” and “Indonesia…is that near Bali?” and “You mean India, right?”
6. This is one of the few places in the world where you have to swerve to avoid hitting the goat and/or chickens in the road…half a block away from a McDonald’s, Pizza Hut AND Starbucks.
5. If you come during the school year, you can meet our students. They’re some of the coolest people I know.
4. We have lots of extra bedrooms! One of them has a school bus yellow ceiling with “WELCOME TO INDONESIA, BORK!!!” painted on the walls in glow-in-the-dark spray paint. If you ask nicely, we’ll spray your name on the wall.
3. Once you’ve experienced Jakarta traffic, any other traffic seems trivial. Seriously, everything from big city traffic jams to crazy Seward Senior Shuttle drivers will seem mundane.
2. Three words: swim up bar. Seven more words: all day happy hour at said bar. (Honestly, Bali’s Aneka Beach Hotel’s swim-up pool bar had happy hour from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m…now that’s happy, folks.)
1. You’ll get to see one of the most beautiful countries in the entire world, and meet some of the nicest people in the entire world. Then you can go home and say that, no, you weren’t scared at all. In fact, you wish you could’ve stayed longer.
