Kids after school

Here are some kids hanging out at food stall after school.

Printer

Indonesians  are very smart when it comes  to ways to try to save money.  This video shows my printer in Medan and the ink system.

 

my dishes in medan

My house in Medan already had dishes.  Funny thing is that they were Christmas plates.  I ate on special Christmas plates from mid-September to mid-January.

 

The 50s Rock Band

This band played at the same café as the traditional musician, although they were hired to play and he just played for a few minutes and moved on.   They played songs by Elvis Presley and other 1950s musicians.

 

Traditional Musician in Yogya

This is a traditional musician playing for tourists at a restaurant in Yogya.  He sounded out of tune to me, but I just assumed he was playing a different scale than  traditional western music.  However, I met an ethnomusicologist (that’s an expert in different kinds of music from around the world) and he told me that even for local musical scales, the instrument was out of tune.
