Comparisons

It is hard for people who have never been to a third world country to understand the differences between Indonesia and Europe or the USA. So to all the spoiled people in the world who think of them selves as 'unfortunate' I would like to remind you of how good your life is by showing you the 'Indonesian'- way.

While you are taking a hot bath in this beautiful bathroom over which you are probably always complaining because it needs to be cleaned so often...

 ...most Indonesian people are currently taking a cold 'bath' here.

This is where you probably shop. While it has everything an Indonesian person could dream of, you are probably frustrated about how small the selection of extra soft triple layered toilet paper is.

This is where the average Indonesian person probably shops. The best thing you can hope for is ONE layered tissues. Yea right, not very tearproof!

This is the machine that kindly does your laundry. Stupid thing is always too loud, costs way to much electricity and water and just takes too long.
















Well, this is what does Indonesian peoples laundry. Oh wait, it doesn't do your laundry, you have to so it yourself. No further explaination needed.

This would be your kitchen. Just like the bathroom it needs a lot of love and cleaning. And of cause if someone else emptied the dishwasher you will never find what you are looking for! Frustrating, right.

If you think this is frustrating I would like to remind you, that other people cook
<===HERE!

This is the change you might get after going shopping.

















In Indonesia, you might get repaid with candy. You would think it's an acknowledged currency here. :D

So I hope I could give you a little idea about how HUGE the differences are. People, you may feel better about your own life now. ;)
