This first story probably falls in the category of gross, but clearly demonstrates the universal tendancy for people to want to put on a good face.
In this neck of southeast Asia, roads are not usually straight, even on flat ground. When going up in the mountains this is even more true because in addition to the uneven surface you now have curves too tight for big busses, plus potholes, cracks, gulleys, and residue from landslides to maneuvre around. Added to this is the fact that there is a HIGH tendancy in the local population towards motion sickness. Need I say more? Anyway, one day Udin was riding on a minibus and was seated next to a very attractive young lady. Imagine Udin's anxiety when he began to get carsick. I mean REALLY carsick. What to do? Well, Udin came up with a most face-saving solution - he swallowed it again. Neat, huh? No fuss, no mess. The attractive girl never knew.
