first impressions--can they be undone?

The first thing I saw in Indonesia, seen while walking through the airport--a note on the architecture of Soeharto-Hatta Airport. The airport is basically a brown tiled glass hallway at ground level. Individual gates are individual pagoda-like structures that you walk up (or down, depending) stairs to. It is truly bizzare to be walking through an airport and, glancing to your left, see someone mowing the lawn--was "Welcome to Indonesia!/Death to Drug Traffickers."

Vegas it is not.
