Off to School in a Boat

Leave a comment Posted by on February 18, 2014

Around 7 in the morning, primary and secondary students from the water village were off to school located just within the water village (Kampong Ayer) or in schools in the land across in Bandar Seri Begawan.

I'm not confident when it comes balancing myself in boarding and alighting from the boat, while they all looked so used to it

Motorcycle Ride in Jogja

Leave a comment Posted by on January 14, 2014

Motorcycling is a way of life in Yogyakarta (equally for men and women). So riding in one going to Prambanan about an hour per way is worthier than any other means and here are some of my pictures – backride perspective.

Oleh-oleh shop in the highway that is conveniently on the way to Jogja’s airport.

Assortment of horns for welcoming 2014 in the evening. This motorbike ride happened last December 31, 2013, the last thing I did for 2013.
image

A semen truck! Hehe. The driver I can see was smiling and waving at me balancing at the back of the motorbike twisting my torso so I could look back for a snapshot of his truck. He must have wondered why. Indonesians are very friendly and warm people and they giggle a lot.

Truckful of semen.

Is that a mosque? That multicolored Moscow-like structure.

Motorbike carrying tree branches I think.

Stopped for the train to pass.

And the culmination of the ride – Prambanan Temple Compounds. But truly the to and fro was as educating as the time I spent inside this ancient Hindu temple.

Teamwork in pushing the outrigger canoe using logs to reduce the work (force * distance). Now it’s time for these folks to rest for the holiday.

Tourist Tuk Tuk

Leave a comment Posted by on December 9, 2013

To go around Siem Reap other than renting a bicycle is to ride a local taxi known as tuk tuk. It’s a motorcycle transport with carriage trailer (whereas in the Philippines our motorcycle taxi aka tricycle has sidecar for passenger seats).

image

Residents in bicycles

Tuk tuk doesn’t feel like a local public transportation as residents mainly use bicycles (bike lanes exist) for mobility. As for my notion of a local transportation, I find it expensive at $3 for 2 pax ($5 for 5 pax) for less than 2.5 km one way trip. It’s really a tourist transportation system, with a tourist fare understandably because locals don’t use them in their day to day commute.

Sorbetes in a Motorcycle

Leave a comment Posted by on September 26, 2013

In the hilly roads of Mt Makiling where pushing a cart is too laborious for an ambulant vendor, it is but apt for this Arsenio Jr. sorbetes to be peddled around in a motorcycle.

image

I like Arsenio Jr sorbetes than those mass produced ice cream brands. It is simply better.
