Are you a shop-from-home-aholic?   Is Ebay, Amazon or QVC your poison?  I prefer ebay, because I can get used items for a lot less than the new items on Amazon or QVC.  I knew some people who sent a lot of money to QVC every month for things they didn't really need. It was so easy to pick up the phone and order whatever they were selling at the moment.   Shopping online gives you a lot more options, and still saves your feet.

For bonus points, I unload heavier stuff enroute, at the neighborhood thirft store. Then, I buy more junk at the antique store on the way home LOL! but seriouly, it's like an ecosystem.

    For westerners, this is the other side of the world, where everything is exotic and unfamiliar.  Piracy is still a problem on the Java Sea, and English is not widely spoken. The Java Sea is about 1,600 km long,  400 km wide, and loiters loosely between the islands of Borneo to the north, Java to the south, Sumatra to the west, and Sulawesi to the east. The equator is a few degrees north, so...
