Jakarta

Due to the wonders of Social Media, some of you may have noticed I was in Jakarta, Indonesia, last week.

I was working with a group of teachers on the development of assessment materials - all good stuff really, even if the language barrier was sometimes rather too high.

For most of the week I was indoors - and for much of the time I did manage to get outdoors there was a heavy haze of some sort in the air.  Both factors rather limit photography.

Here are three image that sum up my week!

Water Buffalo, north of Jakarta

Workshop participants - and some (almost) bald guy!

    I like the city shot, the moodiness of the sky. I can't say I've ever seen water buffalo. Quite a large group for a workshop. You should have worn a stripe shirt then we could search for "Waldo." Here's a link if unfamiliar:
