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.

Farmer in Indonesia
Farming is the occupation for most Indonesian. Farmers are mostly planting rice or padi in Bahasa Indonesia. Despite there are farmers who plant vegetables, tobacco, chili, corns, etc, rice is the most common to be planted. It is the main food for Indonesian. Watching farmers doing their work in the field is interesting, it is a worthy tourism attraction. It will be more fun when tourists are involved in their work.
