A Clown

I was asking a colleague yesterday if he knew who Maria was. I forget exactly how the opportunity to ask about her arose, but it did.

I noticed a wry smile as he nodded and said that, yes, he did know her.

"Is something funny?"

-- "Nothing. No. Just Maria is ... very interesting." [chuckle]

"Do you think she's a bit eccentric?"

-- "Yes. I think so. Very eccentric."

It's hard to get details out of Indonesians - especially those of the polite Javanese variety. But I will. Eventually.

Let's signal this moment as the launch of my fact finding mission.
