Description
They smoke this clove-flavored kretek everywhere in Indonesia. They smoke when they eat, when they go to the dentist, they smoke on the bus and on plastic barrels full of petrol, they smoke while making love (my guess). And still, since they all have so many kids, it seems that the kretek is actually beneficial for men’s fertility. I wonder if Marco Polo knows what he’s become.
