Traditional Barber in Indonesia
Barber exists in every country, it is a profession to help people’s hair tidy and stylish. In a corner of Jogjakarta, I found a traditional barber who works every morning to style and cut people’s hair. A profession as a traditional barber is very different with the modern one, as a matter of earning and way of working.
Batik Yogyakarta on a Horse
Batik is a special painting on clothes. therefore, in Jogja or Yogyakarta, artists paint batik motif on a horse statue. It is beautiful and very detailed, unfortunately, I captured it with a VGA camera phone so that it has not a good picture quality. For everyone who has spare digital camera may donate it to us, we’ll be much appreciate.
