HeyLow!
Its kinda hard to tell this story in English and i really think i will make it Indonesians as well. But FYI, it is mostly about the weirdness grammatical errors for thing you see on road and also weird behavior or look all around in my beloved Medan city.

LETS START!

It is nice to start a journey with a nice view of clear sky, deserted road and no hectic move while suddenly you can find some sharing public transportation, bus and motorbikes race like try to win a big pink diamond priced millions.

You may think, those two buses is parking inside a terminal, but well said dude! I cant even find buses attach real close like this in the parking area. But well, it happens in Medan! They are sneaking each other to gain some passengers or try to get their destination faster or i dunno whats their motive to be so close like i cant even breath to watch their moves.

well, sometimes i imagine some scene of Tom and Jerry or Harry Potter sneak into the space between those buses and become so flat like a dough crushed by a rolling spin.

In some parking area in Medan, it was popular to make a special space for female which is encouraged by some violence in the parking area with woman as a driver. So, some parking area in Medan make a special space for woman near the entrance or somewhere under security monitor to make sure the safety for LADIES.

But, Let me tell you about something Indonesian. There are some words describing female:

  1. Wanita : Lady, Woman
  2. Perempuan : Female
  3. Cewek : Girl
  4. Gadis : Young Virgin (female)

Then, i think they just wanted to say "GADIS" but mistakenly made it into "LADIS". I smell a hidden purpose of the security monitor that they actually prefer to see a GADIS instead of LADIES.

and,,,

I am happy to figure out that the English of LOBSTER is the just the same as my language. And so everyone knows whats the problem of this advertisement. But well said, i crossed this street not so long after taking the picture and the board changed into LOBSTHER or something like that. And i dunno why i was not in a mood of taking picture. And i feel sorry for that coz when i crossed it again shortly, i found that those board had dissapeared forever. RIP LOFSTHER or LOBSTHER. You made my day!

As a B blood type, i enjoy my drive by looking into the situation. But its not like i always be patient or good mood in the hectic road. In fact, sometimes things distract my focus and makes me happy in the center of stressful traffic.
