Jakarta | Chinese medicine
Whenever I visit other big south-east Asian cities, I always seem to end up in Chinatown. Bangkok, Yangon, Kuala Lumpur, and now Jakarta. It’s not just the food. These districts always seem to have lots going on, an energy and character of their own.
In Glodok, Jakarta’s Chinatown, there are a number of traditional herbalist shops, selling specially prepared packages of dried or powdered herbs, designed to cure all manner of ailments, to those who don’t trust or can’t afford conventional medicine.

Interesting. Looks way different from our medicine.
I think it’s similar the world over, but the equipment here is on the older side! I agree, the Chinatown’s have quite a busy energy, and can be great places to photograph – these are terrific!
