In Jakarta to edit a painful human rights report on Timor-Leste, the author sought relief by hanging out with ordinary Indonesians and enjoying the excitement of discovering the everyday activities and places that they find commonplace.<\/p>\n

Over two stormy wet seasons he learned how to cross a Jakarta street and live to tell the story, catch a glimpse of Jakarta’s rich but neglected colonial past, navigate men’s toilets, sink into sleep after a cream bath, read the koran and much more.<\/p>\n

Both playful and serious, the book is a celebration of the author’s all too brief encounters with the people and places of one of the world’s megacities too often obscured by sorrows of one or other kind.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3968,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[66],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3967","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-english","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\nStormy With A Chance Of Fried Rice - Xanana Gusm\u00e3o Reading Room<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xananagusmaoreadingroom.com\/product\/stormy-with-a-chance-of-fried-rice\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Stormy With A Chance Of Fried Rice - Xanana Gusm\u00e3o Reading Room\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In Jakarta to edit a painful human rights report on Timor-Leste, the author sought relief by hanging out with ordinary Indonesians and enjoying the excitement of discovering the everyday activities and places that they find commonplace.
