Still on Indon trip. Met few interesting people along the way. In Semarang, I met an interesting cab driver. I'm sorry I forgot his name.

She asked; "Are you really a reporter? Will this be aired in Malaysia TV?" I giggled and replied " Nope, you will be in YouTube!" Kak Nana helped her with the explanation.
