    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! 🇮🇩

    Right at the end of Cloud Day Indonesia, this guy stopped me to ask about my AWS dress. While we were chatting, I noticed the company name on his badge. “Oh cool!” I said. “Bespin, from Star Wars! Cloud City!” His face lit up, and he marched me over to his booth to gift me some very special swag – a custom umbrella that lights up like a lightsaber in 7 different colours! 😍☂️ Sometimes it pays to be a geek…
