Scene opens on a road in Jakarta, where a wet market and rows of kaki lima sellers and temporary shelters can be seen. We are introduced to our main characters: A nine year-old boy named Ahmad and his mom. Ahmad holds a shopping list in front of him while his mom carries a shopping bag. We see snapshots of various kaki lima sellers selling snacks and chatting happily with customers. Among these sellers, Hana, an older lady is seen carrying a big basket on her head.

Listen to the hustle and bustle!

Did we get everything on our list, Ahmad?

Look! All the kaki lima sellers are out. What should we get? Sate? Bakso?

Yes Mama!

Let’s get lunch!

Listen to another kaki lima seller’s call!

Ooh… I think I heard Mbak Hana! Let’s go find her!

Sate: Grilled skewers of meat, served with a peanut sauce

 

Bakso: Traditional meatball soup

 

Mbak: "Older sister" or "miss"
