What smells?


While waiting for the collection of the pizzas, Br Ekbertus decided to use the waiting time to take me around KK. Originally, we intended to visit the museum, but almost every 5 minutes, I would see something interesting that required a pit stop.

One of these stops is at a place called Sembulan. Known as the slump of KK, what caught my immediate attention was the smell of the place. The shanty cluster of about what seemed to be about a hundred plus homes built over a moss-infested river filled with refuse. Imagine the stench of everything rotting away!

I seized the opportunity to capture a little of the area before it goes. Good thing that within this year, the government is planning to resettle all inhabitants.
