I'm actually amazed you can survived 6 hours bus ride in Indonesia. I once gotten into a 12 overnight bus ride across province, it transformed into 22 freaking hours of bus ride, complete with 'stranded in the middle of nowhere' trope. The only which could make it better was zombies. It was dope.
oh man, fam, the worst bus ride of my life was a 27-hour bus ride from jogjakarta on the island of java to ubud on the island of bali. besides the ferry we had to take in between islands, we only were allowed one bathroom stop. we were all drinking tons of water because it was super hot and there was no a/c, and when we finally stopped for a break, we ran inside this internet cafe to use the restroom. there were two available: one with a broken door, and the other with a perfectly working door. everyone was standing in line for the one with the broken door (which you literally had to lift out of the doorway, go inside, then put back in). i had to use the bathroom SO BADLY, that i charged into the other one, which: big mistake. in indonesia, they typically flush toilets by having a basin of water next to the toilet with a pail, and you use the pail to pour water into the toilet to flush it manually. someone had massive, explosive diarrhea in the basin instead of the toilet, and the entire room was flooded with shit. i staggered back out and went to the back of the line for Doorless Restroom. (later on this trip, there were random piles of rocks in the middle of the road and fire pits??)
i think the best/worst part of the six hour bus ride i mentioned earlier was that our bus also broke down??? we had to run a mile through a coconut orchard to get to a convenience store to call a mechanic, all while a guide was running with us, shouting, “DID YOU KNOW A HUNDRED PEOPLE DIE A YEAR BY FALLING COCONUT?” while we heard the WHUMP WHUMP WHUMP of coconuts falling around us.
