Enjoying the final weekend of Oktoberfest at @2halfsbrewingdistilling in Alexandria… 🍺🥨 #oktoberfest #wiesn

The Istiqlal Mosque is the largest mosque in SE Asia. It’s very modern, featuring only two materials – local marble and stainless steel. I *loved * it. I don’t normally get this artsy with my photos, but every angle in this space was breathtaking. 🕌

I learned about the Dutch East Indies in school, but mostly in relation to Columbus and his “discovery” of America. It’s another thing entirely to actually visit them and learn about the history of these islands. I took the opportunity on my last morning here to see Jakarta on a private tour. My guide Nanda showed me Merdeka Square with the Indonesia National Monument (including the 50+ dioramas showing ID history), Jakarta Cathedral, Istiqlal Mosque (so gorgeous I’ll do a whole separate post for it), the Old Town (including the Town Hall of Batavia), a puppet studio (with traditional wayang puppets), and Sunda Kelapa Harbour. It was all fascinating, and I’m so glad I went! 🇮🇩

It’s all happening at the AWS Cloud Day Indonesia DevLounge today! We’ve had community sessions on building PaaS, k8s cost management, and deep learning, with more to come… #awsclouddayid

Happy to report that the @sneakerkit shoes are more comfortable than I expected for an all day event! 👟 @amazonwebservices #bepeculiar #awsdressv2

The AWS dress v2 (with matching sneakers) is making its world debut here today at AWS Cloud Day Indonesia! Come find me at the Developer Lounge if you want to check it out. I’ve even got special stickers… 👗❤️

A massive thank you to everyone who came out to @hacktiv8id yesterday for the @awsugjkt meetup! I really enjoyed getting to meet all of you. ❤️🇮🇩

Enjoying a sunset Bintang by the pool in Jakarta. Travel does have its upsides… 🌴🌅🍺

Missing my constant travel companion already! But I’m eagerly looking forward to meeting up with my team in Jakarta. ❤️✈️

Ducked over to UTS at lunchtime for a panel by the @sustfashcoe talking about their brand new Shima Seiki industrial knitting machine (the 1st of its kind in Australia; 6th in the world!). Knitting offers the unique possibility of zero waste clothing, and I’m excited to see what these researchers and designers are coming up with. Now, how do I get to play with it myself??? 😜🪡🧵
