Around Jogja

Just some random pics, mostly taken around Jalan Malioboro [Malioboro st.], the busiest shopping district in Yogyakarta.




A look at the heavy foot traffic. Basically this is along an endless row of storefronts (right) which are faced by an endless row of street vendor stalls (left). Pandemonium ensues in the space between.



I had a really hard time explaining the word "cheesy" to someone the other day.



Obama is big here. I mean really big. "Janji-Janji Obama" means "Obama's Promises", and "Jangan Bunuh Obama!" means "Don't Kill Obama!".



Asian racism. See top center and bottom right. Indonesians love hating on Chinese people.



A little quintet played music while this monkey got on his bike and then got yanked back and forth by the chain on its neck. The crowd on the street quite enjoyed it.



It was really hard to explain to my friend why this is weird.



The ebonic equivalent of "money talks".

It hurts.



Possibly my favorite. I bought this shirt after seeing it.
