Outbondholic, Pasar Seni, Ancol, Jakarta

[EN] Outbondholic is the place where your idea of letting off stress is by crossing from one tree to another using a wheel on a rope, flying fox style. You would enjoy such activities only if you do not fear heights. (I know a more appropriate spelling would be Outboundholic, but Outbondholic is the way the guys in the facility spell it). Outbondholic is available for the daredevils at Pasar Seni (the Art Market), Ancol, Jakarta.

[ID] Outbondholic adalah tempat dimana bila anda merasa bahwa menyeberang dari satu pohon kepohon lainnya dengan roda yang bergerak diatas tali, seperti flying fox, dapat menghilangkan stress anda. Anda dapat menikmati aktifitas seperti itu hanya bila anda tidak takut akan ketinggian. (Saya tahu bahwa cara mengeja yang benar adalah Outboundholic, tetapi Outbondholic adalah ejaan yang diberikan oleh pengurus dari fasilitas tempat itu). Outbondholic dapat dinikmati oleh orang-orang yang berani di Pasar Seni, Ancol, Jakarta.

Pasar Seni, Ancol, Jakarta | Wire Sculpture

[EN] Here’s the other sculpture. (Now that Leif of Eagan Daily Photo has called it a sculpture, I can now be sure to call it sculpture. I had thought that the word sculpture was only for stone sculpture. Thank you, Leif). So there is a pair of these metal sculptures in Pasar Seni (the Art Market) at Ancol, Jakarta. Both can be found at one of the entry ways to Pasar Seni, the one near Eco Art (an entrance to Ecopark).

I’ll be at Canon’s Photomarathon this Saturday, a photo event that will be held at Ecopark.

[ID] Inilah patung satu lagi. (Karena Leif dari Eagan Daily Photo sudah menyebutnya ‘sculpture’, sekarang saya bisa yakin untuk menyebutnya ‘sculpture’. Sebelumnya saya kira ‘sculpture’ hanya dapat dipakai untuk patung batu. Terimakasih, Leif). Jadi ada sepasang patung metal ini di Pasar Seni di Ancol, Jakarta. Keduanya dapat dilihat di salah satu jalan masuk ke Pasar Seni, jalan masuk yang dekat dengan Eco Art (salah satu gerbang masuk ke Ecopark).

Saya akan ikut Photomarathon Canon hari Sabtu ini, acara foto yang akan diselenggarakan di Ecopark.
