@Toni: actually you could find those sort of people everywhere. The documentary showed a British lady carried a fake LV bag (only EUR 100), she got it someone abroad who – she claimed – has the best collection.

@Therry: I had no idea about counterfeit pharmaceuticals in Indonesia – except for Ecstasy. Scary!

People here are trying to associate themselves with famous brands, even if they fake, in fact they are proud of it. I think if the demand still exist, so the pirated goods. But eggs? I wonder how the fake yolk taste? As I’m working in a fashion industry, I know how difficult to deal with piracy esp in Indoneisa.
