It's cool when your travels coincide with a piece of history. I was in Jakarta when Jokowi took office last year, also in Cleveland when Lebron made The Decision and they tore down that massive "We are all witnesses" poster downtown (lol). And I visited Borobudur the day after ISIS threatened to blow it up (more worrying than cool).
