Victorious becak. If normally becak (rickshaw) has always been treated as a problem for traffic policing, this circumstance in Sentul Market, Yogyakarta (04/05), was different. This time around, parking was forbidden, “kecuali becak” (except becak). A refreshing, albeit too romantic, sight, isn't it? Danu Primanto | May 2012

Gadang Lamp. Unsatisfied with only dumbing nearly every government buildings we have down, the “ignorant copy-paste” strategy a la Taman Mini Indonesia Indah started to penetrate our city public facilities. Latest sampe case: a number of traffic lamps on Jalan Sudirman, Bukittinggi, West Sumatera (06/05), was seen “wearing” a traditional Rumah Gadang house on their heads. Does this reflect our collective way to celebrate both our tradition and identity? Wara Frizzy | Mei 2012
