It is typical for workers like these not to wear any protection while hanging around in high buildings. No helmet, no harness, nothing. Are they just brave men with super powers? Or perhaps they don't value their lives that much? Oh, I don't know. It's just scares me sometimes.
'Kunci' means keys. This small kiosk is for duplicating your keys. Car keys, door keys, any keys.
And most of our doors are easily duplicated. It's not an expensive service, so it's good to make a few spares if you're a forgetful type of person.
This is the inside of Pondok Indah Mall 2.
I know you've seen the bajaj and the bus, but the reason I took this picture was because of that yellow flag inside the pot. We use yellow flags for telling people that someone around the neighborhood has just passed away.
Still at the fun fair. It was incredibly hot. Starbucks opened up a mobile stand for people to buy some cool frappuccino. I'm a coffee lover and still prefer my coffee hot :) I'd rather buy softdrinks or plain water to cool off (yes...we buy water here. Water from taps are not drinkable).
Here are more pictures of the mobile Starbucks.
Went to a fun fair and there was this huge dragon slide! Wish I could try it out, but...no adults were on the queue :)
It's been very very hot this week. About 38 degrees of Celcius maybe!
Although the other trees were fine with the heat, this one...I think would probably say "I've had enough of it! I can't take it anymore!"
Hope you all have a good weekend :)
In some districts, where the houses are newly built, you will see people selling plants on the side of the streets. New houses need pretty garden, right? They have pots, grass, flowers, and all sorts of compost for gardening.
This bapak (a polite way to call a man) was very nice to let me took a picture of him and his plants.
Here are more shots of the greens.
Ibu As, standing behind the counter, is my mom's neighbour (We say 'Ibu' to our mother, women older than us, those who are in higher position than us at work, basically 'Ibu' is a polite way to call an adult woman). Ibu As changed her little front garden to a warung which sells all kinds of things. She's retired. So, the warung keeps her busy.
Aaah...Bintaro, my neighbourhood. South Jakarta as well. The houses here are 'wall to wall' close to each other. They don't have a back yard, but it's not that bad. Quite cozy actually :)
Here are more houses in Bintaro.
