MONSTER POST, RAWRGH!
Hey, everyone. I am coming to you live from Jakarta's lovely Ibis somethingorother hotel! I'm actually having fun so far, despite being so nervous about getting my visa-on-arrival that I was trembling. They're supposed to check whether you have a credit card or $1000 in cash (I have neither, technically... all my money is on a debit card I got from AAA) and I was so afraid they were gonna be all FUCK YOU GO BACK TO CLEVELAND YOU DIRTY HIPPIE or something. But they didn't even ASK! I was like... oh, okay! Customs and immigration was totally lax, they didn't even ask me like... anything. At all. Not even, like, "do you have any weapons?" or anything. It was pretty fuckin sweet.
Anyway, let's backtrack a little. I'm going to start out with some pictures of the hotel room I stayed at in Incheon
This is the view I was greeted to at the front door of the hotel room in Incheon. ZOMG HOW SUPER AZN DO YOU SEE THE SLIPPERS AND EVERYTHING?? It was actually kind of cool, there was a nice little space for me to keep my shoes where they wouldn't get in the way of my stuff!
It's a mess, but this is what the room looked like when I was getting ready to check out. IDK, it's kind of hard to tell from the picture, but it was actually kind of a cool room. I liked the decor. There were neat lights like... embedded in the wall near the ceiling and stuff.
Here is the spectacular view from my hotel room. Pretty awesome, huh?? YOU GET SUCH A FEEL FOR THE CHARACTER OF INCHEON FROM THIS VIEW!
My favorite thing about the room was the bathroom, though.
Check it out, THE WALLS OF THE BATHROOM ARE FROSTED GLASS. I FUCKING WANT THAT. Okay it'd be totally impractical unless you lived alone, but still, HOW COOL IS THAT?
The shower was awesomely huge, too. I like the way all glass shower stalls look, and on top of that it was FUCKING HUGE! Seriously, you could've had an orgy in there, it was awesome. Too bad I was too jetlagged to go trolling for ass or anything...
Oh, something you can't tell from that picture, the little sign in the corner of the stall is informing us that we shouldn't put cigarette butts or TOOTHBRUSHES in the toilet. Seriously. Who the fuck tries to flush toothbrushes?
These are the adorable bathroom slippers the hotel supplied. It reminds me of a My Little Pony I once had. It's all orange sparkly jelly, how cute is that?
You obviously can't tell from the picture, but the trash cans in the hotel room made the COOLEST FUCKING NOISE when you dropped anything heavy in them. It sounded like a goddamn gong. How cool is that? Yeah, okay, so I'm easily amused.
I got that on the plane to Jakarta. They fed us again, and, GET THIS. THEY GAVE US FUCKING ICE CREAM FOR DESSERT. Not that shitty nasty crap you get in elementary school and eat with a popsicle stick, REAL HONEST-TO-GOD ICE CREAM. STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE FLAVORED. I fucking love you, Korean Air. Seriously. Marry me. I'm so glad I'm flying with them on the way back home.
Anyway, back to Jakarta... I have to give the Indonesian government credit. It's pretty fucked up that they execute people for selling marijuana, but like... at least they have a sense of humor about it! I was greeted by this sign as soon as I got into the airport:
WELCOME TO INDONESIA. SELL DRUGS AND WE'LL KILL YOU :3 What a warm and affectionate welcome. I mean, I don't even smoke marijuana, let alone sell it, and I'm already feeling a little nervous here!
The food at the hotel is pretty good, though. I just had fried chicken spring rolls with peanut sauce, honeydew-guava juice, and bananas with CHEESE ON TOP. Dude, I don't even know. It was pretty good, albeit strange. Also, just outside the hotel there's a huge-ass night market. THEY HAVE NIGHT MARKETS HERE. FUCK YES I WANT TO GO, I LOVE NIGHT MARKETS. Why the fuck don't they have stuff like that in America? I want to go buy cheap designer knock-off sunglasses from some shady dude in a fabric stall from the comfort of my own country, dammit!
One last thing. Check out the elevator at the hotel.
They don't just skip the 13th floor, they skip the 14th floor too. Lolwut? Maybe it's not superstitious at all, but in actuality it's some SUPER SECRET LABORATORY WHERE THEY DO EXPERIMENTS ON WAYWARD HOTEL GUESTS. You think? If I disappear after tomorrow you'll know that's why, because they wanted to silence me before I could tell anyone about their dirty secret.
Also I think a guy just used "hey can I use your computer to send some work e-mail?" as an attempt to chat me up, but I'm not sure. He was all "BTW WHAT'S YOUR PHONE NUMBER? AND YOUR NAME? WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION? OH, AND WHAT ARE YOU STUDYING AT KENT?" He was cute though, so I'm not complaining!
Okay, I better get going so I can actually wake up in the morning and stuff. Later!
