Indonesia is a big place:

Yeah, it's a long distance from Aceh to the New Guinea border

[ Joe Grossberg ]

But I live even farther than that. My wife was a tiny bit concerned that stuff would be hard to find. We found a few places on-line that sell Indonesian groceries, and when in California stopped in on another. But her friends at IUC have pointed us toward a goldmine:

Vietnam Imports
Oriental Food & Gifts
922 West Broad Street (Rt 7)
Falls Church VA 22046
Ph. 703 534-9441
Hours: 10 am - 8 pm (Mon-Sat)
10 am - 7 pm (Sunday)

Vietnam Imports is an odd name for a place that carries mostly Indonesian grocery items. There are some Vietnamese and a few Thai, but they even carry Teh Botol! It goes without saying that my wife is rather pleased.

And, for those who don't know, Teh Botol is the #1 bestest iced tea in the world.

Wow. "Bestest" is quite a claim. I think you're going to have to throw a Teh Botol/DCCGN party sometime.

DCCGN?

Well, if I could post HTML I would have used the acronym tag to spell out "District of Columbia Console Gaming Night".

Yea, but then stupid 14 year old kids would try to post cross scripting attacks...

And my wife is very much looking forward to the next CGN, but she's expressly said that she won't be playing anything...

Do this place carry Durian? I've always wanted to try Durian. And to see if it's as foul smelling as I've heard.

The Korean "Grand Mart" International foods grocery store next to my house carries Durian, that is actually quite easy to get.
