Travel Notes from a Displaced Canadian

Saturday, June 24, 2006















image 1 - The World Cup has seemed to change everyone's life, as people will stay up all night watching the games on live feeds. One NGO cleverly donated a large screen and projector that people pull up in their motorbike as if in a drive-in move theatre.















image 2 -While walking home from basketball I think I witnessed the most people every in a 'Bejak' (motorcycle taxi). What's more when I asked if there was room for one more they all agreed. So flexible and willing to accommodate Indonesians are.















image 3 -This is a view I pass almost everyday on the way to work. For a split second as I pass over this bridge all the city's clutter is parted to the mountains and the beauty of the view moves me every time.















image 4 - graffiti: 'My love has sunk with the Tsunami' This writing seemed to leave a mark on me because of the choice of words. Then when I began to think more about the writing, I realized that the writing is quite recent because it is written on a new house. Thought it is over a year since the disaster it is still felt today as these words discribe.
