I have one interested story today. It's about my friend who came from Kenya. He is taking some class that same with me. Hmmm...ok, let's call him Jono (It's good Indonesian name right?:p).
This afternoon i was sitting in the class when he was walking into the class. He brought a bottle of international branded cola. He sat in the same rows with someone in front of me. When he was drinking his cola, my other friend (Who sat in front of me) said a hello to him. In Indonesian culture, just saying hello to someone you know is so unpolite habit. You must talk some more bla bla bla after you say hello. That's why foreigner said that Indonesian people is so friendly. We used to call that habit as 'basa basi'. Ok, back to the Jono's story. After said 'Hello', she was asking too "Why did you buy that brand of cola?". In Indonesian culture, it's just 'basa basi' to be polite. Then, Jono answered her question, "Ouw, because i like this.". I thought she was curious with Jono. So she asked more "Why don't you buy blabla cola? It's cheaper than that brand.". And Jono answered her question spontaneously "Oh no no, that's too Indonesia.". Spontaneously, i laughed so loud hearing his answer.
He was shocked with my laugh then looked at me. I just gave him some smile.
Do you know what i was thinking about?
He lives in Indonesia but he didn't want an Indonesian cola. Wow, it must be an expensive life! In other side, I was thinking that Indonesian has made a cola but they have too try so hard to be an International cola. I know it will need more time, effort and money, but..i'm sure in the future, this so Indonesian cola will be an International cola. Semangaattt!!
That's all my story.
I think i have to know him more...wekekekeke...
