I Need To Pee!

Musings from Dennis #53: Another business travel horror story (almost!). My mistake to drink before that hour long plus trip by cab to the Jakarta airport because my bladder was filling up real bad and the usual traffic jam or ‘macet’ happened. It got to be really bad and I could not hold it any longer. To make matters worse I wasn’t alone and my Disney colleague sat right over the other side of the car. I was really contemplating asking the car to stop by the highway when she went “Dennis if you stop to pee by the highway, I will tell the entire office!”. Oh God, I just gotta hold it. Thankfully we stopped by an office building somewhere after like forever and I ‘carefully’ ran out of the car. Thankfully I was able to say “Mana di Kamar Kechil” or “where is the toilet please” to the bewildered security guard at the reception who thankfully pointed me to the place (I remembered thinking in Cantonese after the release “syu fuk sai”). 2 lessons here for business travellers: know the local language for this very important question and try not to drink before a long trip to the airport!
