A funny thing just happened. Earlier today I took a motorcycle taxi on my way to BCS mall here in Batam . I soon noticed everyone was staring at me and smiling, pretty much the whole day. Being a ‘westerner’ in SE Asia one gets used to the occasional glance letting you know that you are a bit of an oddity. But when everyone is staring, throughout the day you start checking your zipper. After getting back to my hotel I took a look in the elevator mirror and noticed that my forehead was an iridescent green glittery landscape amplified by the sweat on my brow. Apparently whoever used the motorcycle taxi before me was really loaded up with glitter makeup. Sharing the same helmet was enough to make me dayglo :)
