Kuta: You're an idiot. A stingy, pretentious worse-than-roach-shite idiot.

McDonalds in Yogya: McDONALDS in YOGYA? Wow. Wow. This baffles me. If you want Western food, go to a proper restaurant.

Hi Nadia.

Gosh, I'm sorry to have offended you, but I think you may be in danger of taking me far more seriously that I do myself. My piece on McDonald's in Yogya is, for example, totally satirical. It's irony, pure irony. Perhaps you could read it again with your tongue firmly lodged in your cheek, as mine was? Hopefully, then my reasons for worshipping at the altar of Ronald with be clearer...

I'm also not entirely sure how my article on Kuta annoyed you so much, but I apologise if it did. It's a fairly honest account of a naive budget traveller experiencing Asia for the very first time, and as such it is (I think) perfectly valid. If you'd like to point out exactly where I've been stingy, pretentious and (particularly!) a worse-than-roach-shite idiot, I'd be only too happy to debate it with you.

I do hope to hear from you again, and thanks for posting.

Best wishes,

Mark
