Science Around Us

What does it mean to be a family when we are thousands Kilometers away from home?

One day, after he had a wild party in his AirBnB, his AirBnB guests tell him that they are about to arrive in 20 minutes while his AirBnB is still a big mess.

Additionally, one of the guests (Henk) is still in Budi’s apartment, high as a kite. The plot thickens when at the same time, Budi receives a call from his brother in Indonesia and tells him that his father is in a hospital and refuses medical treatment in Indonesia.
