 nostr:npub1kvpk3wzc56u3u26z2nyewghzy9nws23j5z246kd6u8v6daez7jeqhpf9wh Ahhh, reminds me of a story. We had some Indonesians here (California US) for training. Come lunchtime, we were discussing where to go. They said "Let's be simple. We can go anywhere they serve rice. How about McDonald's?"

Now, I know Indonesia and I'm guessing Malaysia is the same: The menu for "US" restaurants isn't the same as in the US. This came as a shock to everyone in the office (including the Indonesians).
