Indonesia Mengajar Trip Update: Last Twist
Edward Suhadi comment 0 Comments

I have food poisoning.

And it’s five days away from going places with minimum toilet access.

“Holy unexpected plot twist, Batman!”

I learned the hard way that you cannot mix durian with alcohol. Is that even a common fact? I did not know that. So when I was shooting my lovely bride last Saturday, I ate a couple of durian ice cream then washed it down with a couple of beers.

3 am that night I woke up and emptied my stomach. Jackpot.

I thought it was the usual hangover, but apparently I learned, that you cannot mix those two together, and most probably I’m having food poisoning.

But I need to keep going, since yesterday was also a working day. The party went really well, casual with a lot of drinks and great music and peformances. I had a great time.

They closed off with a wild after-party disco time. As I sat there (after taking a gazillion pictures of all the people dancing and having a good time), I just realized that this would be my last party before the trip. From Beyonce to Bacan (the island that I am going), from high quality alcohol to available water, from grand ballrooms to virgin beaches.

And you know what, I can’t wait.

I mean, what man wouldn’t love beaches filled with virgins?

Five days and counting y’all.
