Also Jogyakarta. ;)
More load than the average F-150 user.
Also, durian
- Is this the fruit that smells like a carcass?
  
  It is a popular perfume among the skeleton folks, but the way you put it sounds rude
  
  Yes. A rotting carcass in the summer heat, to be exact. With a hint or sweetness
  
  Picture a bag of sweet onions that's been sitting there too long and the bottom ones are getting soggy and smushed and leaking brown juice all over.
  But it's only smells. It tastes nothing like that. It's like a weird, creamy fruit custard. I thinknit's ok, but some people love it.
- Yes, I tried it because everyone said how wonderful it was. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
  
  Same. By all the hype around it, I would have expected some extreme value, like either a 1-2 or a 9-10. But it was really just quite... mediocre?
  
  I’m not a fan either
  
  Jackfruit ftw
Laughs in Lao. That bike doesn't even have a wood oven.
One of my favourite motorcycle images was in Malaysia ... a young woman, with two other young women and six children all hanging on to one another and the women in various positions as they weaved through traffic. They all looked so calm and bored that it was obvious that they do this drive like this every day.
- Yeah, a different perspective on the use of a motorcycle.
Squinting at this as a thumbnail had me thinking there was a guy slumped over, over the seat.
I guess durian is in season.
wait, Java is a Place?
- Literally half the population of the US lives on Java...158million people like wtf
  
  I've driven in Jakarta. That was interesting.
- One of the islands of Indonesia.
  
  That's underselling it, it's one of the most populous islands of Indonesia(50% of entire country's population lives on Java with heavy concentration on Jakarta) . 13th largest island in the world but 3rd largest in Indonesia. It's also home to more than 70% of Indonesia's GDP. Java is the heart of Indonesia.
