He Fan Rice Vermicelli (spell: Her Fun)
The original name of this food is called He Fan Mi Fen (chinese-modern pronunciation). In Indonesia, people call it Wok Fen Bihun. It's one of the popular Chinese-Indonesian foods. Many Indonesians such as Batak people also like this food. It's usually made of rice vermicelli with egg creamy soup, shrimps, chicken, meatballs and vegetables. And, it tastes great!
Thinking
This old lady used to be a servant to Queen of Rende (a kingdom village in East Sumba ruled by a queen). After she's retired, her descendants replaced her. In the past, if the Queen dies the servants have to follow the queen, accompaniying her journey to heaven. Means their were slayed together with a big number of cattles so that their souls could still serve the queen. It is said that the government has banned the ritual. (Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia)
Taman Safari

Tyres
In a second, he was running across the street beside water fountain at Bundaran H.I. in front of Hotel Indonesia.

Timor Working Hands 2005
To be completely accurate, it's not exactly in Indonesia, but in East Timor (not West Timor, which is indeed a province of Indonesia). It was taken in a small fishing village, whose name I can't remember, some 20 kms to the west of the capital, Dili.
