She was in the middle of a SE Asia trip and was off to Singapore the next morning so we exchanged emails and parted ways. A few days later I got an email from her asking me to go visit her in Jakarta once she was back home. So I decided, since I had to do a visa run in a few weeks anyways and the RT plane ticket was only $80, to buy myself a ticket. Four days before I head out there I wake up with a serious case of pink eye(which will most likely be the subject of another boring blog post) and started taking eye drops I picked up at the pharmacy. The shit didn't help and I couldn't cancel the trip cause it was my visa run and so I end up heading to Indo with a highly contagious eye infection. Got grilled from the customs agent about what the fuck was up with my eyes until I told him it was a contagious viral infection, at which point he gingerly pushed my stamped passport back across the counter with his pen and told me to move on.
Once in Indo I can't really go anywhere or do anything because the sun is killing my eyes and they are constantly discharging eye goop, so I just hole up in my room ordering room service and watching HBO. She comes to my hotel room late on my second night there and as soon as I open up the door she gasps and won't look at me and makes me wear sunglasses in my hotel room. we just lay there and watch tv. The next day I get a text from her, "thanks i have an infected eye now". I text back, "sry", finish packing and head out to catch my flight back to Phuket. Pretty fun visa run!
