so... i left bali, i'd kissed flore good bye... im all by myself... the plane leaves Denpasar and one hour and a half later arrives to Jakarta. First i pick up my baggage and then i walk away from the domestic arrivals terminal, im suppose to reach terminal 2, where the international departures are... but apparently this is too far away to go by foot, so i need to take a bus (a free one). Cause to reach terminal 2 from the domestic arrivals in jakarta airport you need to literally leave the airport and take a short highway that will lead you to it... abosolutely NOBODY speaks good english (fuck, such a bad luck) but still i manage to find out where should i take this bus... and while im walking to the bus stop a taxy driver, that was right next to me when i was asking this security guy where to catch the bus, comes to me and says "terminal 2? terminal 2? ai teik iu der".. " no no makasih" .. " ies ies terminal 2"... ahi me salio el argento de adentro, vos me ves haciendo esfuerzos por tratar de comunicarme para no perder un vuelo importante, me ves agitado y sudando porque no llevo la ropa apropiada y arrastro bocha de equipaje (porque claro, al aterrizar en ginebra se me va a congelar el orto) y te queres aprobechar "NO PA, NO VOY A PAGAR UN TAXY CUANDO ME PUEDO TOMAR UN MICRO GRATIS"... in Argentinian of course, the guy looks at me like "i didnt get anything, i dont speak spanish"... then i said "sorry i dont speak english"...
anyway, i made it throught terminal 2... so i go straight to check-in desk #24 EMIRATES, Flight EK 357... Sonriza de oreja a oreja del otro lado del mostrador, that guy had the biggest banana in his face by the time he was saying "hi" to me... bla bla bla check-in boring stuff... and then out of the blue, he shows me the reason of his huge smile: "Mr, can I take a picture with you?" (then i think "awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard", there was a really loooooooooooong queue of people waiting for the ckeck-in, but whatever, for me, he's the boss) ... regarding those episodes in Kupang and Rote about strangers taking pictures of me just because "i look like jesus christ" i thought this was the same thing, so... without saying anything in particular I answer "yes, sure"... so the guy ask me "you know why i want a picture?" ... "I guess" ... right after my answer the guy lift up his Emirates uniform to show me his Nirvana T-shirt and he says "you look just like Kurt Cobain"...
...plop
