Down Is The New Up

" Eskalator adalah sebuah oksimoron (oxymoron): kombinasi dua unsur yang berlawanan. Eskalator membuat kita berpindah sementara kita tetap diam di tempat - jadi, perpindahan dalam diam. Gerakan eskalator telah memenuhi kebutuhan untuk berpindah ... Pada saat yang sama terpenuhilah kebutuhan untuk tidak berpindah demi mengadakan kontak fisik. Jadi, di mana lagi orang dapat sedikit bermesraan secara terang-terangan kalau bukan di eskalator. " - Tubuh di Mal (Chua Beng-Huat) - Kalam 15

Pasar Minggu (Sunday Market)

In Malang, beside the regular traditional market that open daily, there is Pasar Minggu (Sunday Market) that open only on Sunday from 6 am to 12 am.

In Pasar Minggu people don't always come to shop. Some just walk around, either to see or to be seen :)
