[EN] We call these horse-drawn carriages ‘Andong’. In some parts of the rural area in Java, they may still use them as public transport. In cities like Jakarta, andongs are used for recreation. In this picture, the andong is in Bintaro Jaya, Sektor 7 (7th Sector). Children love riding them.

German Quality

25 February 2011

[EN] I love German products. They are highly durable. Just take a look at that Mercedes logo spinning on top of the building. It reminds me of my wish to own a Mercedes (or a BMW should do as well). They are so cool.

Deutsche Bank currently has the number one electronic banking for the corporates in Indonesia. Rumor has it, their strategy is to take only one or two new customers a year, but they are the big ones, like Coca Cola.

[ID] Saya suka produk Jerman. Barang-barang tsb sangat kuat. Lihat logo Mercedes berputar-putar diatas bangunan itu. Mengingatkan pada diri saya sendiri bahwa saya ingin memiliki Mercedes (paling tidak BMW). Mobil-mobil tsb sangat cool.

Deutsche Bank sekarang mempunyai electronic banking untuk korporasi yang nomor satu di Indonesia. Rumornya adalah bank tsb hanya mendapatkan satu atau dua nasabah baru per tahun, tetapi nasabah yang besar, seperti Coca Cola.
