When you find out you are moving from Indonesia, there becomes a "mad-dash" to purchase all of things that you had planned to buy "one day" while living there. Galleri Pot is high on the list for their huge and wonderful selection of handmade pottery, vases, lamps, etc. (they actually export much of their goods to state businesses such as Pier 1). Any teak furniture you've been dreaming to have is also a top choice. Framing is another well priced benefit of living in Jakarta. For us, it was finding a stone Ganesha. The god of wisdom and remover of obstacles, this deity holds a special place in our family ever since our time in Lombok and the Gilis. We knew it was just absolutely necessary :-) to have in our next home! With all the stone "shops" lining the streets you would think it would be easy to come by....but you know how it is, when you aren't looking for something it is everywhere - as soon as you want something, it disappears! Today the search ended.
