This was actually a movie

There is not a great deal of news today. I went to the mall yesterday to replace my handphone which I believe must have slipped out of my pocket and into a taxi.

On the way we passed a march of Moslem women who were making their way along a crowded drag to the Central Mosque of Medan. They were carrying signs critical of the US and Israel. It was the first politcal showing I've seen since I arrived and we passed slowly by in the cab. It was a peaceful rally and I can offer no analysis on the content of the posters and signs but one does not have to be fluent in Indonesian to understand that the words written below the Israeli flag were likely unflattering.

The picture I posted was actually a movie I took of my daily ride to school. It is not a good photo but I wanted to post some photos and the others I've taken recently are of me or friends of mine.

I am again encouraging people to ask questions. I have talked to some people (or received emails) and have come to understand that some people are fearful of commenting but it really takes no effort and can even be done anonymously. So quit being such chickens.
