The photo edition (and my latest story)

A belated story update: I wrote a story about the end of the Jakarta Fair, which you can view here. It's weird interviewing people that I can't communicate directly with, but it was still a fun experience going to the fair and talking to the vendors, who were pretty candid about their gains and losses. It was like pulling off fingernails to get fairgoers to talk to Nofia and I, worse so than it normally is getting strangers to talk to me while doing a story.

So I finally got my camera cable, which means I can upload a bunch of photos and I've been saving up. Here goes:




A slightly blurry picture of me in my awesome new motorcycle helmet taken by my uncle's driver, Safei, by the entrance of the Jakarta Post. It gets really sweaty under that plastic encasement.






Well, after an hour or so of persevering through a bad internet connection, I haven't succeeded in uploading anymore photos (damn you blogger.com! damn my office's slow internet!). I'll try again in a couple of days when I get back to the office...
