  • National Women's Day<br /> <br /> Master of ceremonies at a celebration at the house of Sukarno, the first President of Indonesia. Since Sukarno's time and his successor Suharto, women have made some progress in Indonesia, but still have a long way to go before they reach the status level that women have achieved in North American and Europe.

  • Gotta love markets!<br /> <br /> Young girl selling food at the market, Bengkulu, Southwest Sumatra. Can anyone identify this indigenous leaf-wrapped food? The nearest I could come was some kind of lemper, e.g., lemper ayam (glutinous rice with chicken breast strips wrapped in a banana leaf), except it doesn't look like chicken embedded in the rice.<br /> <br /> This was a covered indoor market and quite dark, necessitating the use of flash fill.
