The floor mat outside the toilet at Wisma Bahasa language school. Just look at it for a little while. And ponder.
Somewhere, sometime, somehow, someone thought it would be a good idea to make a bath mat. Makes sense, bathroom floors in Indonesia are very wet things.
But to distinguish this bath mat from the many others on the market they needed a catchy design. And why not choose - of all the many things in the universe to wipe one's feet on - why not choose tennis balls?
But what really gets me is this: if you are going to depict and identify tennis balls on your bath mat, why use an image of baseballs?
One man's musings on simultaneously becoming a stay-at-home dad and relocating to a new country. May include examples of creative efforts in writing,music and photography, though more likely just irregular updates on life in Jogjakarta, and the challenges and triumphs of learning how to be the primary carer in a country where you can't speak the language. All images, unless otherwise stated, were photographed by me.
