One Winter Afternoon

I had just found a seat on the train, wiggled into a comfortable position and was preparing to daydream all the way to the city. Then I heard some familiar sounds from the seat behind me:

Man: Ashpil (Asfield) … Masih jauh, Dek. Hombus (Homebush) sih… rada jauh dari City.
Woman: Iye, Koh. Kagak pa-pa. Sambil liat liat. Disini beda ama di Pet(Perth) ya? Kagak banyak poon.
Man: Iye. Liat aja. Poon-poonnya pada mati. Apalagi kalo dibanding ama Indo. Poon mangga, poon pete, poon durian… Banyaaaaaak…
Woman: Kenape ya?
Man: Pemerentah sini, sih… Kagak ngasi bawa tanaman dari luar. Goblok! Bla..bla..bla…

Bajuri and Oneng di Sydney???? ((((((((: How I miss home…

Note: Oz Govt is super strict about plant and animal quarantine. They are afraid that the new comers would wipe out the indiginous plants and animals.
