Day 28: Double-decker

There are so many interesting kinds of transportation in Indonesia (and I am collecting photos to save for a more elaborated future post - stay tuned, dear readers!). Today, the conference organizers took us on a short tour of Solo on a big, red double-decker bus. The trip was more about shopping than cultural sites, but we did see the mayor's house where the soon-to-be president Jokowi started his political career and the batik markets Solo is famous for.
