After a full day at Pullman Jakarta Central Park, I finally ushered in the second day of field visits, which also gave me the opportunity to experience the customs and customs of this so-called country of a thousand islands. Boarding the bus, I deliberately picked a window seat to sit down, and as the bus slowly drove away from the hotel, my eyes were always facing the window, from the bustling step by step to reality.
Can you imagine this being the capital of a country? Motorcycles everywhere are congested on narrow roads, and on both sides of the road are residents' houses, as if the houses on their side are like this, two-story brick and tile structure, such a sight reminds me of when I was a child in the countryside, there are many such houses. But now we are all new rural areas, and there are still many places to merge villages and towns, revitalize the countryside and so on, small Western-style buildings, big stages, and villagers' activity centers. There is no harm without contrast, with contrast to know how fortunate I am as a Chinese, we have heard how good foreign countries are, really when we go abroad to know the greatness of the motherland, we are just used to it, we are just in the blessing and do not know the blessing.
Our bus stopped and went on this road for nearly two hours, and only slowly walked to a slightly more prosperous place at noon, where we ate nearby. This is a good restaurant in the local area, just entered the house to scare me, a dummy-like ornament standing in the corner, the appearance is very strange, we do not understand, and do not have the good sense to ask, may be the local customs, may also be what we call feudal superstition, who knows. This hotel is very sweet, specially arranged for Chinese food, after a simple meal, it is driven to the factory to be visited today.
After arriving at the factory, the staff responsible for receiving us at the factory told us that this factory is the largest corrugated box factory in Asia, the owner is Chinese, three generations of immigrants from Fujian, and also told us a small story about indonesia. Chinese who immigrated in the early years are now bosses, as long as they see that the cars are basically Chinese, and the people who ride motorcycles are locals. Because we Chinese industrious, have the awareness of thinking of danger in times of peace, work hard to start a business, and slowly set up factories in the local area, from scratch, step by step to success. On the other hand, the locals cannot be said to be lazy, but they do not have long-term planning, are full of the status quo and are satisfied with the status quo. We have met such people on the road, they are standing at the intersection, there are vehicles, stretch out their hands to simply direct the traffic, and then run over to ask the driver to tip, they do not always want to tip, that is, to enough money for a meal is not done, after eating to find a place to rest, almost to the meal point and then go to the road to do the so-called command traffic, may also be a state of life of people, we can not arbitrarily evaluate.
Fly to Surabaya, indonesia's second largest city, Surabaya, for 4 days in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, and have several customers in Surabaya. After visiting the customer's factory, debugging the customer's machine, staying in Surabaya for one night, and preparing to pack up and return home the next morning. In the seven days in Indonesia, I felt that it was better for us in China, and after comparison, I could really appreciate this feeling, and there was a strong sense of pride.
On the journey back to China, I encountered the most memorable moment of my life: the engine on the side of the plane lost power and was forced to land in the Philippines.
