    • Becak (Baychack) vary as you travel through Indonesia, the Purwokerto version being one of my favourites.
      This type has a closer to vertical seat, making the ride more comfortable and getting in and out much easier.
      Many operators are homeless so sleep on the streets, so pay them more than they ask.

      • Java has just five days of the week, very confusing for new expats, but things in villages and even larger towns still commonly use the Javanese calendar.
        Wage (Pro - wagee) is a market day in many places and the market in Purwokerto is named after it.

              The Javanese calendar has just five days per week,
              All the official stuff is done on the normal calendar but all village and market days are done using the Javanese version, or at least a sort of Javanese version.
              Markets in my old town were Pahing and Wage, one day between Pahing and Wage, but then two days gap before the next Pahing.
              It's common for village meeting to be run on the last
              Legi of the month, something that was very confusing for me.

              • People do whatever they can to either make a little money or provide food for their families - Some sell street food from shoulder carried restaurants





                Others grow their own food on a small plot of land, this plot at the side of a very polluted river is run by a very old couple.
                The land area is tiny and the woman was having a serious problem climbing up the latter to get back to the road

                • Mental health issues are a big problem if you don't have family to help you - there are local services but they have a tiny budget and not enough people.


                  This guy was trying to empty the river, move the rubbish around, and it looked like he was hunting fish but I can't be sure about that.

                        • Flickr are threatening to delete all my photos from their machines.
                          If they do that, this thread will die.


                          Apologies
