FOR HERE OR TO GO?

You can never get away with some funny experiences while you're in another country.

It was the first day of our F2F meeting. And my counterparts from the other side of the world, still jet-lagged, was in need of caffeine real bad. So off they went to our office cafe. When they came back, we were surprised to see them holding plastic bags with dark brown liquid on it.

The other non-locals (including me) must have given them the funniest puzzled looks ever, that the two of them burst in laughter as well.

Oh yeah. That's hot coffee to go in a plastic bag. Drink 'em with a straw. The real challenge: Hold the bags while chairing and taking minutes of the meeting ;)

Only in Penang. Hehehe.

(Come to think of it, we've been joking that it would be easier to just take caffeine intravenously. Maybe that is a much better option that drinking it through a straw. Mas efficient! Hahaha.)
