| First house that caught my attention! What a nice arrangement! |
Last week I had the chance to visit an opening of my art photographer-friends' exhibition at Semarang, Central Java. In two days and a night, me and my friends were walking, well frankly, taxi-ing around the city and got to check some tourism spots we googled days earlier.
We stayed in a small budget-hotel at Pecinan, the chinese-community kampung or what-so-called China Town in the center of Semarang. Wake up earlier in the morning, I sneaked to have my me-time, snap-shoting the houses nearby the Hotel using my new-cheapo Fuji pocket camera. Old houses with a mix of Chinese-Dutch style in da neighborhood!
Facade
Most of the houses in this kampung are old and worn. In the main street I could spot some -bussiness-related buildings, but more deep in small gangs, I found the treasures of this town: vintage houses with great details on each facade. Here are just some beauties of the archaic houses.

Locks
And last, I regret not to put more attention on the details. The doors have pretty quirk rusty locks. Well, it could be a home-work on the next travel to identifying the locks!
