cigarette diplomacy

the party was just over. well, it's not really a party, actually. just the same old crowd bullshitting together in the kitchen. there were bona, dunya, raman, ida, tiago, takedo, costas and, of course, me.

they really are a funny and crazy crowd. very interesting, indeed! anyways, tiago was not supposed to be here. he's supposed to fly back to geneva this afternoon. but as silly as he always is, he missed the flight! haha, stupid portuguese munky!! so there he was, ready to be abused by the whole gang.

it is always interesting to hangout with them, sharing a good laugh together. we're not just talking rubbish all the time, though. sometimes there are some 'serious' talks about anything, like culture, language and food similarities, since we all come from different countries. kind of exchanging cultural background, including exchanging swearing words. oops!

my share in this crowd is just the laugh, a little bit of abusing words, and sharing the cigarettes. not just the regular cigarettes, it is the kretek. and usually, people who try it will find a weird taste in the beginning, but then end up liking it. that's my way of introducing indonesia, through cigarette diplomacy :)

it is 100% guaranteed that i'm gonna miss these people when i'm going back home. ftd!
