Indonesian Contrasts

As I spend more time in Indonesia, it's interesting to notice some contrasts and differences from things back home. I thought I'd share a few with you...

1. Fifteen minute taxi to work costs less than a Starbucks coffee on the way in
2. Marks & Spencer is a luxury fashion brand
3. Locals often put more chili sauce on western food than they do on Indonesian food
4. It is normal for a twenty-five year old to live with their parents and for ten year old to ride a motorbike
5. There are traffic police everywhere but the roads are complete chaos
6. Avocado & chocolate is “delicious”, avocado & bacon is “weird”
7. One jar of imported pasta sauce costs more than lunch for three at local food hall
