Mr and Ms White in pictures – ‘Black stuff’

I wouldn’t say all cats are black at night…  There are things you can replace and some that you can’t. Or would you replace a regular morning coffee for kopi luwak?

*

Kamu akan rindu roti hitam* disini ya? – You’ll start missing black bread (rye bread) in here?

*’Roti gandum’ would be more correct, but as the rest of the world calls it ‘black bread’ by its color, roti hitam is as good as roti gandum

Mungkin, tapi aku yakin aku akan rindu kopi hitam – Maybe, but I’m sure, I’ll start missing black coffee

Disini juga ada kopi – Here (we) have coffee also

Iya, ayolah – itu kopi luwak, sayang… – Yeah, come on honey, it is kopi luwak

Mr and Ms White in pictures – ‘Bankrupcy’

Sweden was the first in Europe to start using paper money and as it was an extremely successful project, it may become that we’ll need to keep our hands in our pockets in the future as well to avoid accidental purchases…

*

Apa lagi? – What’s going on?

Di Swedia orang dapat melakukan pembayaran dengan tangan saja – In Sweden people can make payments only with (their) hand

Mau lihat tangan kamu juga – I wanna see your hand too

Kenapa? – Why?

Ah, aku telat mikir, aku sudah bangkrut – Ah, I was thinking too late (got it too late), I’m already bankrupt now
