I'm not quite sure how it happened, but tonight I was a guest of the Indonesian ambassador at a piano recital by Jaya Suprana, at Carnegie Hall.

Well, British. So, pistols at dawn, betiko.
Water pistols, of course, because y'know us Brits don't like guns.

Still a gun!
So, whoever has the best tea party at dawn wins! Must be in a sterotypical manner too.
Jones, you better be in your suit and bowler hat! Top hat is also acceptable.
Also, I thought it was the French you guys didn't like?

Jonesy, if you would've told us earlier, I would have given you some sly phrases to pepper into your conversation to impress -- I've picked up odd bits from a friend of mine. You could have told him to please have a seat. Or ask if he wanted a fruit slice. Or tell him that you are like a bomb exploding.

Oddly, only the first of those might have been of any use. Who knew?

Well next, time, say: "silahkan duduk" (See-la-khan do-duke), and as you say this, you are supposed to make like a thumbs up, and then gesture to the seat with your thumb pointing to it, with your palm knuckles facing the sky.

Also, I have now read a concert program which includes the wonderful word "Potpourritically".
