CURIOSITIES

CURIOSITIES: A boring day in transiting from Sumatra to Java with nothing to report, so I will add a few curiosities here, mainly in the form of a photo essay.

I saw some pretty funny signs and a few other things I photographed just because they caught my attention for one reason or another.

I also became completely fascinated by all the smoking ads I saw plastered everywhere and am posting some of them here. Smoking is a national problem and instead of combating it — I saw a single public anti-smoking ad and one video campaign at the airport — smoking ads are using everything from sex appeal to macho imagery with interestingly an all-Western cast. Is the message here to live up to a Western ideal? You tell me.

I think you will see in each one of them images what caught my eye. I will also make titles that lead you in the right direction. Enjoy!
