Some of the junior children at Lake Tekapo School, in the South Island of New Zealand, have sent their Flat Stanley’s on an adventure to Indonesia. Their class is learning about different cultures and their Stanleys are going to help out by sharing their experiences in Indonesia and maybe other destinations.
I visited the market with a local lady. She goes there every morning at 6am to buy food for her family. The market starts at 4am. It is different to a supermarket because there are no prices. The buyer and the seller have to agree on a price they are both happy with.
