Jakarta – Day 2 – Sept. 22nd 2008

After my Natto breakfast I met up with Denny and headed over to the MediaBlitz building. I met Andez, an animator who owns his own studio and teaches at Digital Studios. I also met Udo who stage managed the event and Indah who MC’d. I interviewed for a podcast and went to lunch with Andi, the owner of Digital Studios as well as Paula and Mita from Koelnmesse, the producers for SIGGRAPH Asia.

Natto

This morning I went down for breakfast at the Sari Pan Pacific Hotel,
where I’m staying in Jakarta. Of my own free will I chose to eat a bowl
of soba noodles with natto from the Japanese portion of the buffet. I
liked it. Rie must really be rubbing off on me.

Jakarta – Day 1 – Sept. 21, 2008

After 20 some hours of flying I landed in Jakarta, Indonesia. I sped through immigration and customs with minimal imperial entanglement and met one of my sponsors, Denny. We met up with Romy when we got to the hotel where I freshened up quickly then hit up the food alley behind the hotel for a quick snack of spicy duck heart jerky over rice. There was a place next door that serves dog, cat and cobra meat as well. I’ve got to work up the nerve to try that one. We took a tour through old Batavia, checked out a puppet musuem and grabbed a coffee at the touristy Cafe Batavia. I told them I’d want to go somewhere a bit off the map for dinner so they took me to a locals only Indonesian place where I feasted on a bowl of fruit bats sauteed in very spicy chile sauce.

Denny at Jakarta Airport

This is the first picture I took in Jakarta. It’s Denny from Digital Studio College who picked me up at the airport and guided me around the city during my stay. Denny is a great guy and along with his friend Romy were wonderful goodwill ambassadors for Indonesia.
