One of the things I love about cycling around Jakarta is that I sit higher up than when Iโm on my Supra.
If you ever see me riding around the city, come over and say hi ๐
Iโm the bule in black on the bike ๐ด๐ป

- I'm trying to explain what's going in Indonesia to my international friends. It's getting complicated.
- This week Iโve been thinking about Tempo โ one of Indonesiaโs most respected media outlets. Tempo has been targeted with terror tactics: a severed pigโs head and dead rats sent to their office. This is intimidation and an unacceptable attack on press freedom. #StandWithTempoBeda kelas memang media yang udah pernah dibredel pemerintah sejak jaman orba. Diteror pake pala babi, dibalas dgn munculin wajah orang-orang dibaliknya. Seakan memberi pesan.. โini wajah kami, kami ga ngumpet kaya pengecut macam loโ. Sehat-sehat @tempodotco @BocorAlusPol
- Picked up some biscuits on my way home today. At least, I think there are biscuits inside?!
- How corrupt are Pertamina? Explain this corruption scandal using Indonesian snacks as a metaphor.

- Just driven past โNgopiโ on the bus in Dalston, London. I might have to get off now. ngopi.co.uk
- I donโt know what he was selling, but he had all the good flavours. #jakartalife
- If you think you understand Indonesia - youโre not trying hard enough.
- No matter how long I live here, Iโll never master the Asian squat.
- I donโt know what they put in my coffee in Situbondo but Iโm pretty sure a Labubu just helped me back onto the road.
- There are plenty of differences between the ๐ฌ๐ง and ๐ฎ๐ฉ, but having a great (dark) sense of humour isn't one of them. Exactly 100 days after a railway station escalator stopped working commuters held a condolence ceremony and laid flowers. Well played Bekasi ๐ #bekasilife
