I love to wander Jakarta’s Chinatown. Always colorful, rusting buildings, nice treats, and odd lion dancers who still think it is the new year season.
不要问我从那里来,我的故乡在远方。为什么流浪?流浪远方,流浪……
Don’t ask me where I come from. My home town is far away. Why do you wander so far? Wander so far?
The Chinese verse is a song called Olive Tree by San Mao.
