A typical cow stable in a small village, here in Sumedang.

Masih mengendarai becak yang sama, tetapi kali ini sang monyet tidak memakai kacamata kuningnya, melainkan topeng. Mungkinkah dia merasa malu diperlakukan seperti ini.

Dengan menggunakan kacamata kuning dan kaos biru yang cukup eye-catching, sang monyet mempertontonkan keahliannya mengendarai becak.

Mayday! Mayday! It's May Day and I'm sick of working for you human... -_-'

Seorang pedagang hewan liar jenis kukang (Nycticebus coucang) sedang menunjukan dagangannya. Hewan ini termasuk yang dilindungi oleh pemerintah sejak tahun 1973. Pedagang hewan liar sepertinya kerap kali dijumpai di kawasan Cadas Pangeran pada saat-saat tertentu. Menurut si pedagang, hewan ini ditangkapnya dari Kabupaten Sukabumi. Terlepas dari masalah hukum perdagangan hewan yang dilindungi, kegiatan ini akan terus ada selama ada permintaan.

A vendor selling a slow loris, one of Indonesia's rare and endangered species, shows it for me. I met him on my way back home in Cadas Pangeran. At a certain time, many unlicensed animal traders like him show up along this area.

The fishes in the bottles are Betta fish. I love those fishes. They are small, colorful and coquettish.

The Lodaya Tiger of Prabu Geusan Ulun Museum

It was hunted and killed in 1936 in Bengkulu, Sumatera island. Now, it is become a collection of Prabu Geusan Ulun Museum.

Menurut informasi pada display, Harimau Lodaya yang sudah diawetkan ini diburu pada tahun 1936 di Bengkulu, mengherankan sih, kok bisa Lodaya ada di Bengkulu?. Sekarang menjadi salah satu barang koleksi Museum Prabu Geusan Ulun Sumedang.

Mask Monkey Performance

Salah satu pertunjukan topeng monyet yang digelar di alun-alun Sumedang pada akhir pekan. Topeng monyet atau dalam masyarakat Sunda lebih dikenal dengan sebutan doger monyet, merupakan salah satu pertunjukan kesenian tradisional jalanan yang sangat populer di Indonesia.

Topeng monyet (literally: Mask Monkey) is one of a famous traditional performance in Indonesia. The origin of word "mask" comes from the acts of the trained-monkey that usually wear a mask during its performance. The monkey also usually performs some attraction that is pretending to be and do like a human being such as riding a bike or a car (toy), wearing some uniform, going shopping, etc..

Happy Idul Adha! It's sate time........

In the name of God, we sacrifice ours, just for the sake of Thou. Seeing that sheep being slaughtered is always be a tearful moment, although it's happen year by year for me.
