A mom: miss, Nelson besok nggak masuk ya? Mau ke dokter. Mau imunisasi
Me: lah, sore aja kali mom ke dokternya.
Her: miss ini gimana, kan dokternya Nelson di Jepang. #CrazyRichSurabayan
Previously teaching in Surabaya, @btari_durga encountered a mother who wanted to take her son, Nelson, to get vaccinated in Japan.
Another mother shared that she did not go back to her hometown in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, for the Idul Fitri holiday because it's too far. She went to Germany, instead.
One mother offered to buy @btari_durga a coffee from Starbucks, which she politely rejected.
The mother then said, "Don't worry. I'm planning to drink Starbucks in school with other mothers tomorrow." And the next day, there was a Starbucks booth in a school hall.

Pernah jg diceritain sopirnya #CrazyRichSurabayan saat mobil mereka lewat komplek perumahan elite si Ibu naksir sebuah rumah.
👩: Pak rumah ini bagus ya.
👨: Monmaap Bu, ini kan rumah Ibu.
🤣😂🤣😂
@diajengsafitri shared that she had a tenant who owned many properties in the city. One day, the tenant told her driver that she was interested in a house located in a luxury residential area. The driver had to remind her that she was actually the owner of the house.
Veterinarian @PangestiRida said she once took care of a dog owned by a #CrazyRichSurabayan. The client came with three cars and two military police and paid her a large fee. While @BiniBuleID is expecting a book to be out on #CrazyRichIndonesians.
Somebody should write a book about #CrazyRichSurabayan or #CrazyRichIndonesian! I could relate to so many of the stories!
