The Jakarta reporter

Many reporters came to our press conference. Most of them were so nice. But the man from Jakarta was bad. Such nasty questions he asked!

First he asked why I was not going to Russia, China and North Korea. What kind of question is that!

I said that the time has not come for me to go to those places.

Then, when I was meditating before doing my lifts, he said, “Is there any special reason why you are looking towards the East?”

I said, “Here I don’t know where East or West is.”

Most of the reporters were so nice, but always there is someone to challenge and annoy us.
