Taraje



This man is selling bamboo taraje.

Taraje is the Sundanese word for ladders. The Indonesian language calls it tangga.

Bamboo ladders like these are as sturdy as and a lot cheaper than their modern aluminum counterpart. Unfortunately, they are not as durable as the latter.

And they are pretty too! I've never seen a bamboo ladder.
They must be lighter than metal?

I am so glad you are showing your remarkable street photography again.

And btw, I love to see more of the sidewalk, I see some neat designs.
