Riding Buses in the Cities I Call Home
My first ever bus riding experience in Japan was a bit funny and confusing. Although buses are a common public transportation everywhere in the world, I didn’t know that here in Japan, public buses have two doors--each for getting on and off the bus. I used to ride buses everyday back in my hometown, Ambon, Indonesia. As it was the main transportation means used by my family. However, ever since I came to Japan, I always ride a bicycle everywhere, and only ride buses when going to more distant places.

Before You Try Durian...
Have you ever seen a ‘no durian allowed’ sign in a hotel? I saw it once inside a hotel’s elevator in Indonesia and it surprised me because I love the fruit a lot. Durian is banned in many countries in Asia, namely Thailand, Singapore, and Japan. This is due to its distinct and strong smell that might be disturbing for some people. Well, no wonder why durian has such a distinct smell, it is known as The King of Fruit. In fact, the shape, the taste, the texture, and everything about durian is just uncommon. Durian is the most special fruit, especially to me. Not only because of the taste that I love, but also because it wrote me lots of childhood memories that I will never forget.
