I know youtube, and the video seems to be good to be true, but it is Indonesia, who knows.

$100 on Amtrak, gets one a narrow ratty seat.

There are many wonderful channels from Freepers, including driving videos that let us stay-at-homes travel roads we know and roads we’ll never travel except through their kind videos. There are some great Freeper channels that aren’t collected in a single place, unfortunately.

I have fond memories of US train travel in the 1960s. Later (1980s) I sent my wife and daughter on a train trip that I thought they would enjoy. I immediately saw that I’d made a mistake. We expect progress in America, but we don’t always get it.

All well and good, but, when you arrive you’re still in Indonesia

“ when you arrive you’re still in Indonesia”
Last time I was in Malaysia I got dengue fever from a mosquito bite. Worse flight back to USA ever.

Took the train from northern Virginia south in the early 1990s. I was the only white guy in that car. Not as bad as the greyhound bus ride where I wasn’t. On the bus, I was probably the only one not drink or on drugs and had a shower that week.

I remember reading some story regarding a small city on a remote Indonesian island, so I thought to myself that the place must be a dump, or at least very poor.

The damn place looked like JAPAN or SINGAPORE, immaculate, air conditioning in every apartment. The ‘Third World’ is not your grandmother’s Third World, it is FAR BEYOND THAT in many places, particularly Asia, and it’s past time that the Neocons and Globalists ACCEPT this fact, rather than think they’ll continue to be slaves.

I have been to more than ninety countries in all parts of the world, and have lived in Indonesia for 41 years. There is no place I would rather live. My children and grandchildren have all been to America, but prefer to stay here.
