Heart of Darkness

Hit the ground running...every time.
Endless hours on a 'plane, half-wrecked sleep with the drone of an engine and the shrill cries of an unhappy infant in a bassinet ringing in your ears as you turn up the volume on the entertainment system that isn't very entertaining after the 40th replay. Cramped spaces, jostling for elbow-room...the fun never ends. When you fly halfway round the world for 15 minutes before promptly flying back again - the cabin becomes your world of darkness, a portal to the other side...

Live Voice

Fear makes men tremble.
Hope gives them courage.

Apparently the Javanese aim for perfection in the following order:
1) Build a house
2) Find a wife
3) Have a family
4) Ensure you have transport
5) Acquire a singing bird - to enjoy life.
Ah, the simple life...although given the circumstances it isn't that easy.
