Meya and I literally wade through meters of fabric looking for the perfect black and red for her Halloween costume. We are handed disposable cups with sealed lids - there is no air conditioning. We sip water through our straws as we search. My broken Bahasa Indonesian coupled with their limited English and we leave the store with a bag of our material.
Next stop is the one-stop-shop of everything else. You want ribbon? They've got ribbon!
You want buttons?
A whole room...four huge walls, floor to ceiling of buttons!
It is like a treasure hunt. Definitely a new favorite spot in Jakarta.
Crazy! This looks exactly like the fabric market in Beijing. We were doing exactly the same thing a couple of years ago. So funny!
