Climbers having sex on Mt. Agung angers the volcano which will lead to an eruption. |
What have the bule done to our land? |
Foreigners have disrespected the mountain which has angered Agung, "the Beast," and this is why it is about to erupt, residents living near to Mt. Agung insist.
The Indonesian volcano looks set to blow as up to 400 earthquakes have hit the region over the last few days, causing 75,000 people to flee the danger zone.

Indonesia on the other hand, that’s a place that doesn’t really
come up much in everyday American life.
China, Russia, India, sure, I
know those places. I read about them. Sometimes stuff that happens there
shows up on my Facebook feed. I can even show you where they are on a
map.
Indonesia, however, I’ve seen it on some t-shirt tags, and that’s
about it. Indonesia is the fourth
most populous country in the world, but to a lot of us, that’s just that place
that had that tsunami. Or at least, that’s what it was to me when I
agreed to go live there. See, Americans... More
