It's interesting to see how the only grocery store in a remote place works. I've become interested in the story in another country, especially in my own country (Indonesia) an Asia generally.

In some village in Papua, Indonesia, the logistics are supplied by small plane that visit regularly. The road infrastructure there is still bad, especially in the mountainous part of the island. And even if there are roads, it's safer to go by plane.

Some small islands got their logistics by ship either once a week or once a month. And it really affected by the weather.

Being an island country puts a challenging problem for Indonesia to distribute logistic to its people.
