A video clip of Richard Feymann on Robert Krulwich's science blog.  Don't neglect to read the excellent poem by Wislawa Szymborska below the video.

What would it mean to be disoccidented?

DI DUNIA INI, ADA BANYAK WARUNG

Apple slices

in coarse sea salt.

Sardines

in bitter chocolate.

An avocado shake.

What savor would these have

taken at a food stall

of bamboo

and blue plastic tarp

at the corner

of Jalan Kaliurang

and Jalan Yacaranda?

SORE DI MALIOBORO

SORE DI MALIOBORO

Orang-orang, banyak warna.
Abu-abu, kehujanan.
Mantel-mantel, kecil di bawa.
