I took the ferry over from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia for a few days while I sorted myself out and planned for my next destination. Exiting the ferry terminal I quickly found myself in a familiar situation - the kind of situation where dudes will holler at you asking where you're off to. You know I could start writing about how many unsolicited offers for transport I receive per hour when I'm out in public in Indonesia and how it's probably what Tinder would be like if I were a woman but that would be a cheap shot at creating entertaining content.
Not long after arriving a caught a cold and so I spent quite a lot of time doing not a lot.
Confining yourself to your room and not talking to anybody for a while makes for quite a buzzy experience. (Bonus points if your diet consists entirely of dried snack food and takeaways delivered to your door.) I would say it's pretty close to the life of a dole bludger who smokes weed all day and never leaves the house. I can see the potential in a new tourism market niche because I'm sure there are thousands of people just dying to fly over to Indonesia basically to just watch Youtube videos and sleep all day like a manchild. You should try it some time. It'll work wonders for elevating any deep existential crises which may be lurking within the depths of your mind.
By the way I recommend buying a pack of these darts if you're in the country. Help the Indonesian economy and experience the culture. I am not sponsored by Dji Sam Soe by the way.
