Mummynista!

Are you like me who's attracted to things that have a history or looked like they have a history? Or maybe you are looking for some more interesting artefacts to add to your home decor? Well my buddy J and I definitely were and we decided to check out the famous antique street/market in Jakarta- Jalan Surabaya. This made me miss those times when I used to type essays with a typewriter. One has to have patience to go through the piles of collectibles.  Was tempted to get the gramophone for G. Just love these vintage binoculars/telescopes. J got one of these for her son. There's a couple of things to note over there:  1. You need to haggle. A lot. Most of the shopkeepers start with higher prices; although some must just be out of their mind or don't want your business, they quote you ridiculous figures. They quote us a vintage fan at 20 million rupiah..yes  20,000,000idr  (~2,000usd). We laughed and walked away. This is clearly a lost...
