One trip we took at a time when we were both on a few drugs (prescrition!!) I had the bright idea of tipping them all out of their boxes and into a plastic container to save space. Nor my best idea because you can imagine what they looked like on the xray machine. My Bahasa Indonesia, currently only bad, was then at the truly bad stage so imagine the fun I had trying to explain each bubble strip. This is medicine for sore toes (gout preventer). This is medicine for sore head. (migraine preventer) This is medicine for stop pregnant. Strange look from custom guy which said without words "surely I misundersood. She cannot possibly think she's still going to get pregnant." I tried "for problems of women" which he seemed happier with. After the "This is to stop diarrhoea." he gave up and let us go. I couldn't understand what he said as we walked away but I know it began with "Bule" and contained "dong".
