Went back to the National Museum with Felix and Zoe. This was the day before Felix left to go back to the States. There was a big school group there. and it went quickly from one or two kids asking to "take Photo?" to huge groups. It got a little out of hand and I gave up on getting my version of the picture. It freaked Felix out too. Indonesians have a different sense of personal space. It's never threatening and they really aren't touching but the teenage boys pile around you like a big ball off puppies. </div>

Gorgeous lighting too, though you can't tell from our these pictures.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a bit odd.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I live in a country where I look very different from most of the population.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is nearly impossible for me to go to go out in some areas of Indonesia without being stopped and asked for my picture usually with a big group of people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes I am asked by clusters of giggling shy teenagers for an interview so they can practice their English.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have gotten to the point where I can see it coming. The big eyes glancing at me. The whispering. And then...."Excuse me Miss"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided that I will have a copy of each picture too. My goal is to post these with a brief bit of info about the where they were taken and what was on that day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am going to post the link on Facebook once and link this to Adventures in Wonderland if you want to follow along. You can also get updates sent to you by subscribing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This first one is from the National Museum of Indonesia. <a href="http://www.museumnasional.or.id/">http://www.museumnasional.or.id/</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was touring with my Indonesian Heritage Society (IHS <a href="http://www.heritagejkt.org/">http://www.heritagejkt.org</a> ) Textiles Study Group. It's a lovely museum and by local standards very well curated. The IHS does offer tours in many languages though so if you are visiting the museum I highly recommend having one of these trained volunteers give you the tour.</span><br />
