The old streets of Batavia

Batavia, the old Jakarta

Was walking in the old streets of Batavia, the old part of Jakarta. It is a strange place. A different city with its old Dutch crumbling houses and ware houses. Looked up to the facade of one of those buildings and saw a beautiful model who was doing a photo shoot. For a moment she looked down to the street.

Rain has gone

Rainy skyline

They say that there is no longer a real dry season in Jakarta. It rains more or less all the year round. I was for two days in a workshop at the 17th floor of a tower in central Jakarta. During breaks we went out on a nice terrace overlooking skyscrapers and single family houses. Like the old Jakarta battling the modern Jakarta. On both days it rained in the afternoon creating a nice effect on the glass wall of the terrace.

Whale sharks near Sumilon island

Katja went with the girls and her brother Jussi for a snorkelling morning not far from Dumaguete, between Cebu island and Sumilon island (Philippines), where every morning a group of 6-7 Whale Sharks gathers to get food from local fishermen.
