Jalan Jaksa Festival

Wednesday, 13 August 2008
Jakarta, Indonesia

I flew to Jakarta last Saturday with Lion Air and checked into the usual place in a narrow alley near Jl Jaksa (Asri). I had booked the room in advance, just to make sure I didn’t get any unpleasant surprises.

There was a festival going on in the street, the so called Jalan Jaksa Festival, from Friday to Sunday. The street was packed with people. While walking the street, I was approached by a TV team from the Indosiar TV channel, and interviewed. Just questions like “what I think about this street and this festival.” Hope my face won’t end up on the TV…
