We went for a walk on Sunday to see what was in our neighbourhood and we found some very interesting things. Not far from here is a huge Christian church. Marni, being the good Catholic peered inside and came back and mentioned "It is more of a show then church.". After checking out some posters, the minister is your 'Billy Graham' type of guy. There was a lot of whiz-bang and he was building his ministry here in Jakarta. Being in a very Chinese area, there is a lot of them that are flocking to Christianity. With the church came a college, private school and a Cathedral being built an one large complex. Very impressive. But, according to the pictures on the glass, if you don't listen they kill you.
We continued on our walk and found, what seemed to be a public garden. Very beautiful. Tucked in behind the garden was an open air market. Lots of fruits and veggies out for display. They also come with a healthy portion of flies. Being privy to the 'chicken jump' on the farm, nothing surprised or phased me.
Just a couple of funny ideas- here are a few things you can learn in Jakarta.There is always room for Christianity and Media technology.
Another thing; what does this say about the people showing up when it's closed? They didn't know what the sign said when they sat down.....sure.
