How to marry a millionaire

You may first chose the right currency as in some countries almost everybody is a millionaire.

Since we are living in an age of inflated numbers it might be better to step higher to marry a billionaire. However, street market research informs us that billionaires prefer stilettos making it even harder to walk properly and extremely difficult keeping the balance while climbing up the ladder.

Cubicle style plots and yachts

Affluent citizens, many of Chinese origin, set up their mansions in the very north of Pluit, a subdistrict of Jakarta. Villas with yachts can be spotted from Jakarta’s fish market and the neighboring slum offering a peep into another world. Within the gated community giant mansions had been built next to each other, each plot is divided my huge walls allowing each resident to design a dream house in whatever style and taste.
Skyscaper and greek column house divided by wall to a tuscany-style house.

Fools day relief

What a difference a few centimeters make! This can also be applied to houses of or for God(s) by comparing the photo above with an older picture.

It is
April fools day (hurrah!!) today and it is a day to celebrate as the threatening loud(er)speakers had been adjusted.

It's still too noisy but at least we are not getting directly hit any more. Time to celebrate.

A toast to the boss of the
musholla. Cheers and Alhamdolillah!
