To buy an envelope, I have to go to a shop nearby. Padded envelopes, big envelopes, boxes, packets, etc, the type of post office paraphrenalia you'd expect to get at a local post office in Australia, are not sold in the kantor pos. To affix the stamps, the teller uses glue. To stamp the envelope, she grabs an instrument that looks like a hammer and proceeds to hit the stamps, usually 4-5 times, as sending something to Australia requires many stamps.
Starting to use the post office to send stuff home. Qantas excess is $35 per kilo. By post, about $10-15 a kilo. The backpack, post-Jalan Marliobro, was bursting with batik. Time to lighten the load.31 Okt: took these photos at a later date, hence the he-ness of the "she." There are two staff at the office, male and female. Usually the woman serves me.
Hi Stephen,
ReplyDeleteI sent off some English, err Australian things for you to read on Monday morning in the hope that it will reach you before you move on.
It is great that you know so much Indonesian, but we still need the subtitles, otherwise we might miss the crux of that day's blog.
Robbie Williams - Mr Bojangles, Story of the Bossa Nova, Billy Bragg, Dave Brubeck, Mojo presents Rebel Music, Willem - Mighty Boosh skit (see Facebook) warbling magpies - whenever I step outside or whenever David checks the latest hitrate on YouTube,
hartelijk groeten, Linda
This is how our wafers got crushed, is it?
