Bogor.

 Whenever we passed by Jl Suryakencana, a busy

business area in Bogor, I always charmed by this old building.

Located in Jl Suryakencana 210, this old house

was onced owned by Mr Tan Goan Piaw, 1825-1890,

who was a captain of Bogor Chinese community.

The beautiful Indische-Chinese architecture is well

preserved untill now without much changes.

Hope it will always be.

Manggar, a very small town in Eastern Belitong,

preserved many traditional simple modest coffee shops

on each of it's corner.

It's known as 'The town with 1001 coffee shops'.

media tycoon.

Above the reception room, Berretty placed a placard

Gereja Ayam.

In loving memory of my grandmother who always stopped

whenever passed this building and pointed to the

chicken figure at the roof top,

'look, a chicken' she mentioned. At that time I didn't

know what's so special about that, I would prefered

a real chicken instead.

It took me decades to realized it's beauty.
