Topeng Monyet

 

Topeng Monyet, Jakarta - Indonesia

  

Following yesterday’s post, here is the answer to their curiousity. They were watching at one talented monkey. This door to door circus show is called Topeng Monyet. They put on the show for around five to ten thousand rupiahs or about US$1.00. The monkey is trained to do a few smart moves. Kids always have fun watching it although some might be a little scared.

    I have to say that I find the sight of a trained monkey on a lead, somewhat distressing.

    interesting indeed - wow - $1 is all they charge - that is a steal in this country! I guess this would be equivalent to us charging $15-$20 for a whale or dolphin show

    I know it’s sad for the monkey, but these people are desparate, and they don’t exactly get much support from the govt.

    It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka? days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange. Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering –waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. http://www.timberland4you.co.uk/ QL
