    Street Life
    1 - Wedding photos with either of these cars cost about $35,shot with a Canon 1000D, disk made on a nearby laptop - just turn up.

    2 -"Becak" carries 2 passengers,majorly adding to the city's notorious pollution.

    3 - Artists mainly work on portraits,from photos,taken from a mini-bus doorway.

    4 - Fast food - surprisingly,I've never been ill from street food in this country - and its hard to pass up tasty fried tempe slices or the Chinese dumplings in hot,spicy sauce this chap sells.

    5 - Incoming storm,from top of a mall,downtown.Still a huge amount of construction going on,despite the recession .

    I think the key to good street food is fresh-cooking, quick & hot.

    Yes - that and frying at very high temperatures...less fat absorbed and kills the germs,lol,but not so good for ones health.

    1 - Indonesia's favorite drink - ice cold,strong jasmine tea.

    2 - Second favorite form of transport,after mopeds.

    3 - My favorite street fruit seller.

    4 -Local favorite past time,fishing.

    Susaan...I hope you do many more of these "lessons". I love seeing the street life...and especially from your viewpoint. Loved the artist, the vehicles, the construction. I think my favorite was the way your vendor displays her fruits. I like the way you tell us about each photo too...keep up the good work.
