September 30, 2006 - One of the Props

Wig, Jakarta - Indonesia

And, here’s one of the comedian’s wig, all clean and bright waiting to get dry. I’m not sure if they’re wearing wigs all the time like clowns or just on special performances. I shot the pink and red wigs as well, but my daughter loves this one and so there you go :)

September 29, 2006 - Comedy Cafe

Komedi Cafe, Jakarta - Indonesia

Still the same location as my previous post, here’s another place called Comedy Cafe. The people who work there were busy cleaning their props. It has the sign Makan Minum (eating, drinking), Nyanyi Nyanyi (singing), Ketawa Ketiwi (laughing). I’ve never been there so I don’t know whether they’re actually funny or not. I personally prefer live music than comedy in a cafe :) . Do you have a comedy cafe as well in your country?

Anyway, Happy Friday everyone! A laugh is always good for the soul. And I think Ame from Santa Clara DP probably have a VERY healthy soul, right Ame? ;)

September 28, 2006 - Ayam Bakar Wong Solo

Wong Solo Restaurant, Jakarta - Indonesia
The restaurant, Ayam Bakar Wong Solo, located in Tenda Semanggi of Sudirman street in downtown Jakarta, is now being renovated. There was a very controversial story behind it in the year 2004. The owner of Ayam Bakar Wong Solo did a press conference once and declared himself as a man who strongly believe in poligamy. He has four wives and ten children. He encouraged other Indonesian men to follow his lead. He even named one of his beverages as ‘poligamy juice’, and also created a poligamy award (huh?). The food, which is specialized in grilled chicken served in traditional Indonesian way, actually tastes okay, but ever since his public announcement people stopped going there. Many women do not approve of him (including me!). A friend of mine who’s totally against poligamy said that she would never ever go to that restaurant again. :)

What do you think of a man having more than one wife?

September 27, 2006 - Bicycles

Bicycles at Pasar Rumput, Jakarta - Indonesia
Pasar Rumput from my previous post also sells a variety of bicycles with reasonable prices. They’re not those fancy geared bikes, but most of them are in good condition. They provide used and new ones too.
