I’m not sure everyone knows this but Indonesian cities have a lot of hipsters. Indonesian hipsters are a thing. Like, I’m going to a small Indonesian city and there is a third wave coffee spot named after a film stock (Ektar) that posts film photos for most of their Instagram updates, AND has a record player and vinyl nights. Also hijabi hipsters!
Also, Indonesian ‘third wave coffee’ is amazing and is, I do not exaggerate, better than anything I know of in San Francisco
Another film / airport update: Changi Airport terminal 4 scans bags immediately after immigration (other terminals sometimes defer that to at the boarding gate). Spoke with an officer, he said they were happy to hand check but I was in line specifically at one of the lower powered film safe scanners (had a huge sign that said film safe on it), so I just went ahead with the scan. Will share what happens when I develop the film!
