Whatever is causing the trafiic jams, the fully booked hotels and general feeling of ecstasy and rejoice in Yogyakarta, one thing for sure is Demangan Baru is rocking with the news that veteran native speaker, Adrian B. Coen, has started using his brand new handmade leather shoes to work.Speaking to a shoving, shrieking, shouting group of journalists, Mr Coen explained that the new shoes, made by his personal cobbler, KRT Hardjo Wikromo MSc, were size 44. He plans to use them every day and will teach a wide selection of Indonesians and other nationalities while wearing them on his feet.
As in the past, Mr Coen, 29 years old (always), angrily denied accusations of acute bromidrosis. He insisted that his sudden exits from countries like the U.K., Japan and Australia had nothing whatsoever to do with the deadly odours coming out of his last pair of shoes which he wore all the way around the world for a period of fourteen years.
His old shoes can now be viewed at the WB-ED. please make an appointment with Mr Coen's personal Shoe manager, mBak tatik.
Detailed shot of one of the new shoes. When not being worn the two shoes are never allowed to be in the same place at once for security reasons.
Oh! So it's *that* shoe! I've seen it (them, more like) around... oh well.
ReplyDeletehey, it's on the table....shoo shoe!
ReplyDeleteIn Britain, it is considered unlucky to put new shoes on a table. That's what forced me away from my motherland. My friends at the Wisma allow me to put my shoes anywhere.
ReplyDeleteIn WBED, it is considered lucky to put lots of food on the table (lucky for me, that is).
