Funny how the word "grooved" seems to be missing from a lot of runways in monsoon areas.
I have limited experience with Indonesia, but runways in India are not grooved, and most of them are so uneven the wheels are bouncing on the surface after you touch down. Add a flooded runway to that, and 2200 meters can pass under you very fast.
